This is a recipe my mom introduced to my two younger girls. The few ingredients are ones I normally have on hand. It always helps to have an “emergency” activity up your sleeve for kids and grandkids!
I made my own ice cream!
Ice Cream in a Bag: Mix 1/2 cup milk (whole), 1 T sugar, and 1/2 t vanilla in a quart ziplock bag. Place the small bag in a gallon ziplock containing ice cubes to which you have added 6 T rock salt. Zip, then shake for 5 minutes. Open, then eat!
The same ingredients will work with 3 lb. and 5 lb. coffee cans for a delicious game of “Kick the Can.” Use packing tape to seal the cans well.
