As a stay at home parent, I know how difficult it can be to come up with fun activities that keep kids entertained while also getting them excited about learning something new. Luckily, making homemade ice cream can be both fun and educational for all ages! Not only does making ice cream involve following instructions and measuring ingredients, but it also encourages creativity when it comes to flavor combinations and toppings. Plus, who doesn’t love ice cream?

My kids love nothing more than making our own homemade ice cream on a hot summer day. We usually start by discussing our favorite flavors and what kind of toppings we want to use. Then we get to work measuring out all of the ingredients and mixing them together until they are just right! After that we put them in our ice cream maker and wait with anticipation for it to churn out a delicious batch of homemade ice cream that we can all enjoy together as a family!

I find that teaching my kids how to make their own ice cream is a great way for us to bond as a family while also having fun in the process! Plus, it teaches them valuable skills like following instructions and measuring ingredients correctly which helps lay the groundwork for future cooking projects that they can tackle with confidence. So if you’re looking for a new way to stay entertained while staying at home with your kids this summer, why not try making some homemade ice cream together? It’s sure to be an unforgettable experience that you’ll all look back on fondly for years to come!
