Healthy homemade strawberry and banana ice cream

Today is Tuesday Treat day for summer time, we have been on a roll of making our own ice cream. J loves doing all the prep for it, so today we did ice cream and popsicles.

For the ice cream all you need are frozen strawberries and banana's, milk and a blender. We added 1/2 cup of milk to 1 banana and 5 cut-up strawberries. (You can use as much or little as you like to each)


Then blend and you have homemade ice cream(soft serve). If you would like it a little harder then place in the freezer for 30 min.



To make popsicles do it all the same just add 1 cup of milk then pour into popsicle containers and let it freeze for couple hours.



There you have it easy to make ice cream and popsicle and the nice thing is it is healthy.

Hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

Dinosaur sensory volcano fun



J loves making volcano's and mixing the vinegar and baking soda together to watch it bubble. So I set up a dinosaur sensory table with J's toy dinosaur's.

Made sand with salt and brown paint, added rocks, bowl of baking soda, blue vinegar water for the lake and then colored vinegar ice cube's I saw on http://www.thegoldengleam.com. The kiddos had fun playing.

I loved how C got into it and when she mixed the vinegar and baking soda together she would say,"WOOOOW" it was too cute.

Materials:
salt and paint (makes the brown sand)
play rocks
dinosaur
made the volcano out of modeling clay
food coloring
vinegar

This is a good sensory play for mixing things to make science.








If you like sensory play be sure to check out some of the other fun things we have done.
