Ice Cream in a bag
Several of these recipes have been surfacing on my parenting email lists...we are definitely going to have to try one!

For each child, you’ll need:
1/2 C. whole milk
1/4 C. whipping cream (the stuff in the small “milk” carton, NOT in the
can!)
1 tabl. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 qt. size reclosable bag & 1 gal. size reclosable bag
2 C. ice & 1 tabl. coarse or rock salt
Carefully pour the milk, cream, sugar and vanilla into the quart-size
bag. Seal tightly, removing excess air. Place ice and salt in the
gallon-size bag. Place the sealed quart-size bag inside the gallon bag
with the ice and salt. Let the kids shake, knead and jiggle the bags
for AT LEAST 15 minutes. Soft ice cream will begin to form in the
smaller bag. Tell the kids that the longer they knead/shake the bags,
the thicker the ice cream will be. They can eat it from the bag with a
spoon or pour it into a small mug. The ice cream is delicious!!
"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more
and more of the real
world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to
use fantasy and play to
make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it
easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they
ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out." ~ John Holt,
