SRP 2017 - week 5

Self-made Ice Cream:
Picked a recipe that did not require heating/boiling any of the ingredients. (with only a microwave as a source of heat, we had limited options)
Notice the plastic coating over the floor. We had no idea what to expect from this project so we tried to prepare for the worst.

Rebecca pre-measured milk into sandwich bags. Scooped sugar into buckets for kids to measure their own. Librarians offered vanilla, strawberry or cinnamon flavoring.

We carefully instructed children to close their sandwich bags and place them inside a gallon freezer bag. Then add salt. We settled on using softener salt crystals. It was the cheapest in the quantity we needed.

Roughly 15 pounds of ice was scooped onto the kid's bags. More instruction to thoroughly seal bags.
Then SHAKE! Except for very chilly hands, the kids enjoyed that part. Five to ten minutes later, remove sandwich bag, wipe outside of it with napkin and eat.

'school' kids left to reach Madison Elementary in time for dismissal, but we still had 15 minutes of SRP. I created two identical grids on our carpet with a combination of duct tape and masking tape. Draped book displays with tablecloths and rolled them in between the grids.

Voila! Life-size Battleship. So much fun for children and adults!

My game had the added bonus of being fun to pull apart.

The children each left with a belly full of ice-cream and a magnet full of Frontier Bank.
