What is a better way to celebrate the Letter I than some Ice Cream?  What better way to enjoy some Ice Cream than to make it yourself? Let’s get this letter I activity under way.

I found this home made Ice Cream Recipe.  (I’ll let you head on over there for the detailed recipe.)

Letter I Activity - make your own ice cream

I started out by writing the Letter I all over the plastic bags… why not add a little letter recognition into the fun? We put all of the yummy ingredients into a little plastic bag.

Then the little bag went into the big bag… along with a lot of ice… and a little rock salt…

All that was left was a little shake, shake, shake.  (It really took less than 5 minutes… I couldn’t believe it!)  Do you see the surprise in his face?  I live for that look!

Real live ice cream! (We added a little extra sweetness… butterscotch chips.)

Tips:  1.  This is messy (and I can handle a mess!) so be ready.  I’m thinking this would be a great activity for summer when the kids can run through the sprinklers to rinse off.  2.  The kids complained about it being salty… I think next time I’ll wipe the baggies off really good before they eat.  3.  Play up the Letter I.  Use “I” words while you’re working.  Make a game of thinking of an “I” word before each bite!

      The little bag holds all of the ingredients and the big bag holds the little bag, the ice and the salt.
