Last weekend, I bought the ingredients to make homemade ice cream in a bag. I thought it would be a fun little activity to do with the kids, and they approached it with much anticipation. We started off happy and excited, but as the bags were shaken and shaken (and still not done), the excitement waned rather quickly. Timo ended up shaking most of the bags, and we used kitchen towels to keep our hands from freezing.

| H was perfectly happy since this was about as close to shaking as he got. |
Once the kids were done with theirs, I made mine with the ice/salt mixture from one of the kid's bags, and it worked much more quickly. This was due to the fact that there was much more liquid present in the bag than when we started with the kids' ice cream.
Overall, we were happy with the results, and the kids claimed it was the best ice cream they had ever had. They chose chocolate (we used Ovaltine) with vanilla extract. I chose chocolate with almond extract, and I was extremely pleased. I would do it again, but I think I would let the ice and salt melt together a little bit before shaking.
