Birthday Parties
Sleepovers
Summer 2010 programs brought fun into the museum! Here are a few photos and a recipe that were featured.
Ice Cream in a Bag
What you will need:
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 cup milk or half & half
1/4 tsp. vanilla
6 tbsp. rock salt
1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g. Ziploc)
1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag
Ice cubes
How to make it:
1. Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.
2. Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt.
3. Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal the large bag
carefully.
4. Shake until the mixture becomes ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes.
5. Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy!
Tips:
1/2 cup of milk will make approx. 1 scoop of ice cream, double the recipe if you want more. But don't increase the proportions more than that - a large amount might be too big for kids to manage because the ice itself is heavy.
Through A Child's Eyes is a Photography Contest for children and students, ages 8 to 16. Submit an 8"x10", colour or b/w, unmounted photograph on one of the following themes: The Bastion, Anything Coal Mining, or Use Your Imagination.
