Ice Cream in a bag!

For our nutrition activity last month we did ice-cream in a bag.  This is a great activity for science and uses  some gross motor skills too.  Not to mention it is very inexpensive for those on a class budget :)

Here are all of our ingredients: Ice Cubes; Ice Cream Salt; 1 cup half and half; 2 TB sugar; 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Add everything but the salt into a ziplock bag.  

Then close it tightly and place it in another bag that is filled 1/4 way with ice cubes. Next sprinkle in the salt. 

I didn't get a picture of the kids shaking the bag but here is the finished product!
