This week on the HomeSchool Village the theme has been cooking with kids. I don’t know if the activity we did is technically considered cooking, but it does involve food and is yummy!
Since it has been so hot out and we were celebrating my oldest daughter’s birthday, I thought a fun thing to do would be to make ice cream. This was on our summer to-do list and since my nephews and niece were coming over, we thought making ice cream in a bag would be a special treat. I had originally planned on taking step-by-step photos but 1. it was hot 2. I’m preggo 3. high temperatures and being preggo don’t mix well. 
I did manage to take one photo of my 3yr. old eating her ice cream though This recipe is so easy and yummy! The only thing you need to remember is to wipe the outside of the smaller bag once you take it out of the gallon-size bag. It is covered with salt and can ruin your ice cream tasting experience.
2 Tablespoons of powdered sugar
1/2 cup of whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla
6 Tablespoons of rock salt
1 pint-size Ziplock bag
1 gallon-size Ziplock bag
ice-cubes
Pour the first three ingredients into the pint-size bag. Seal it tightly.
Fill half of the gallon-size bag with ice and then add the rock salt.
Place the smaller bag inside the bag with the ice. Seal it tightly.
Shake, shake, shake and shake some more!
When it looks like ice-cream, take the smaller bag out from the bag of ice. Wipe the outside with a wet rag, open the bag and eat with a spoon! It was very good!
So what things have you been able to cross off your Big Summer Fun list?
This looks like a lot of fun! I may just pick up the stuff for this at the store today!

Yay…another homeschooler!!! Following back from the Friday Hop.
I love ice cream in a bag! It even works well for adults. During the homemade ice cream making at our family reunion, we thought of making individual-sized soymilk ice cream for my lactose-intolerant daughter-in-law. Great mini-unit and printables!
Great printables! Thanks. I'm a homeschool mom of 6, following from the Friday blog hop! I love digi scrapping too!!!
Making ice cream in a bag sounds like such a fun activity to do with kids. Creative, educational, and you get to eat something yummy at the end
oh those are super cute printables. They will go perfectly with the HSS (homeschoolshare) lapbook on ice cream. Happy preggo summer days. =0)

Oh, I'd love to try and make ice cream some time! I'll have to try when Ruari is a bit older.
I love making ice cream in a bag! We made some in a coffee can earlier this summer – have you tried that? It turned out really well!
