Nothing says summer like ice cream (just ask the girl who runs the ice cream shop in our 'hood - she knows my face well). So this week, our activity is to make some homemade ice cream...and I mean having the kids make it. Here's the scoop:
You'll need
2 x Ziploc bags (1 small 1 big)
1 cup of half & half cream
2 tbsp of white sugar
Splash of vanilla
Ice cubes
1/2 cup of salt (kosher, rock salt or regular ol' table salt)
With summer time crunch, traffic on the highways and cost of vacations soaring - a staycation is sometimes the perfect option for a busy family. This week we decided to be a tourist in our own city; exploring, discovering and having a bit of fun. This week The Summer Fun Project is all about staycations.
How do you keep your kids math and literacy skills sharp over summer? Sneak in long division? Make them write out vocabulary sheets? Yes, you could do that...OR...you could incorporate school skills in some fun activities. This is week 2 of the Summer Fun Project.
