Summer Activities For Kids
Are your kids anything like mine, and busting at the seams waiting for Summer? Especially this past week, when the weather was absolutely perfect and warm and getting us even more giddy. Reality is that their Mom is probably more ready for Summer then they are.
In any case, with the weather as it is, we busted out some of our favorite summer kids activities this past week including one of our favorites, making ice cream in a bag.
Its so easy, that I couldn't believe I hadn't showed you all before how to make homemade ice cream.

Ice Cream in a Bag Supplies
- 1 gallon size ziplock bag
- 1 quart (sandwich bag) ziplock size bag
- 3 cups of ice
- ⅓ cup rock salt
- ½ cup half-n-half or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
Making Ice Cream In a Bag
In the large bag add the ice and salt. Set to the side.
In the smaller bag add the milk, sugar and vanilla. Remove the air from the small bag and seal the bag. Place that sandwich size bag inside the larger bag and then close it. Shake the bag for 10-15 minutes.
For added fun, you can add chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, or sprinkles. So much fun for the kids and so so easy to make! This is also lots of fun for the kids to make while camping as they don't require any bowls and can be eaten right out of the bag!
Hope this make it to your Summer Bucket list this year!
