Typically, ice cream is the last thing that you think of eating in the winter. Maybe it was the unusually warm weather that we have been experiencing or maybe it was experimenting with freezing and melting that led us to wanting to make ice cream in kindergarten, but whatever the reason, we had fun!
We talked a lot about the kinds of foods that help to make our bones strong. We looked in our snacks each day and identified the foods that help us to build strong bones and teeth.
We made ice cream by putting milk and syrup into a small ziploc baggie. We put course salt and ice into a large baggie. We placed the small bag inside the large bag and swished it back and forth for about 5 minutes. We were amazed by how our milk turned to ice cream. It tasted delicious! Who knew that it could be so yummy to give our bones calcium?
We made ice cream cones for the birds too. We mixed birdseed and lard together and scooped it into ice cream cones. We put hangers on them and hung them on a tree. Now the birds will be well fed too!
