We did something really unique and fun tonight at a birthday party for our friends' daughter. We made our own bowls of ice cream! Well, actually bags of ice cream. I don't have a source for this idea, but I'm going to share it anyway.
For each individual, you will need:
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla
- 1 sandwich size zip lock baggie (we used the thicker freezer kind)
- about 1/4 cup rock salt
- plastic container with lid or a gallon-size zip lock
- enough ice to fill plastic container or gallon bag
Mix the sugar, milk, and vanilla in the small zip lock. Make sure there are no holes or leaks in your baggie. Place the small baggie of ingredients inside the larger container or bag and surround with ice and rock salt. Cover tightly or seal bag and shake it vigorously for about five minutes.
Ice cream! YUM!
I recommend having a dish towel handy, because that bag of ice and rock salt was COLD on the bare hands! It was a really fun party activity. The kids thought it was pretty neat, and my daughter gave the ice cream a thumbs up.
I think we'll try this again on a hot summer day when we need a little ice cream to cool us off.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7: 7-12
