Hi guys– sometimes I see an activity so cool that I bug my friends to send me pics and write a post for me. Luckily, Charitie from Chapel Hill ISD was excited to share this with all of you! Thank you, Charitie!
I had the opportunity to present two mini-sessions last week for elementary teachers in my district. I loved helping other teachers with ideas to use in their classrooms. One of the things we did was make ice cream. I know, everyone has made ice cream before. However, this way is SO easy, even pre-k kids can do it. Hardly any measuring and no mess!
All you need are some mini coffee creamers, salt, ice, and a plastic container with a lid.
Step 1: Fill the container 3/4 the way full of ice
Step 2: Pour about two tablespoons of salt on top of the ice.
Step 3: Place the UNopened creamer in the container, add just a splash of water in the container (to help move the ice around).
Step 4: Place the lid on the container and SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE! When I do this with my students I play music and let them dance.
After shaking for 3-5 minutes take the mini creamer out, pull back the lid, and ENJOY! I pass out craft sticks to use as spoons because this is such a tiny amount and a spoon doesn’t fit well in the creamer container.
I love the International Delight brand Cold Stone sweet cream because it tastes the most like ice cream. I’ve used other flavors too like Almond Joy and Thin Mint, but the Cold Stone flavor is my favorite.
Delicious! If you try this out, be sure to report back on how it went! Thanks again, Charitie.
