What better way to cool off on a hot day than with homemade ice cream? Kids can practice their kitchen skills with this delicious activity that requires a handful of ingredients. Take a look at the steps below from Kidstir to whip up this frosty treat!

Tools:
• 1 quart-size sealable plastic bag
• 1 gallon-size sealable plastic bag

Ingredients

• 1 cup light cream or half and half
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Ice cubes
• 1/2 cup salt (Kosher or rock salt)

Step-by-step

1. Measure the cream, sugar, and vanilla extract into the quart-size bag. Zip it up tightly.
2. Fill the gallon-size bag with ice. Add the salt. Put the sealed smaller bag inside. Now zip up the larger bag.
3. Shake and shake the bags to make ice cream! It will take about 5 minutes until the cream hardens.
