Plan
What supplies do you need for this activity?
How is ice cream made?
How will you flavour your snow ice cream?
How will you stay safe in this activity?
Do
Start by collecting clean snow – ideally, put a bowl outside and collect snow as it falls.
Add sugar and vanilla to taste and then add milk until the snow has a smooth consistency that you can eat.
Serve into bowls and give people a chance to add other flavours! Add fruit, jam or chocolate chips to add a bit of flavour.
Review
How did adding the milk change the consistency of the snow?
What flavours did you add to your ice cream? How did it taste?
What flavours would you add if you made this again?
Materials
Big bowl to collect snow
Smaller bowls for each person
Spoon per person (not metal)
Freshly fallen snow
White sugar
Vanilla extract
Milk
Other flavouring items – fruit, jam, chocolate sauce, etc.
Keep it Simple
Try making popsicles and letting them freeze outside if you cannot get clean snow for your ice cream.
Take it Further
Experiment by adding different amounts of sugar and milk – how does it change your ice cream?
