Cool Idea to Help Beat the Heat

No matter where you live, I think we can all agree that it is HOT. Here's an activity that is fun for the kids to make and eat. And, it really works!

Ice Cream in a Bag
1 T. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1/4 t. vanilla
6 T rock salt
1 gallon size Ziploc bag
1 pint size Ziploc bag
ice

• Fill the gallon size bag with ice about half way and add the salt and seal it.
• Mix the sugar, milk and vanilla in the small pint sized bag and seal it.
• Open up the large bag and put the small bag inside and seal the large bag again.
• Shake the bag and you'll see you mixture in the small bag turn into ice cream. (this takes 5-10 minutes of shaking.)

If you are in MIA, we'll be doing this activity Tuesday at Kohl's Park! Thanks to 'Southern Belle' for this great idea.
