Homemade Ice Cream

Gemma and Monica experimented with making homemade ice cream recently, and the children approved. Using the usual ingredients, the leaders got the children to freeze their own ice cream using zip lock bags, salt and loads of ice.  We also added food colouring  to customize the colour of their treat. Many children and leaders found themselves with frozen hands after the activity but most would agree it was worth it.

The usual ingredients.
