Homemade Ice Cream

     When we have hot summer days here at SMART START, we cool off by having some of our homemade vanilla ice cream!  SMART START chefs love to cook and made enough ice cream to last all summer. During our ice cream unit, the children learned about the ice cream making process through books, puzzles, toys and making soft serve vanilla ice cream! They put on their aprons and chef hats and were ready to use SMART START's soft serve ice cream maker. The children worked well together adding milk, cream and sugar to the machine. They absolutely loved watching the ice cream machine mix all of the ingredients together. Being part of the process is such a thrilling experience for our young learners and we are so grateful to be able to provide your children with these hands on learning experiences and yummy homemade treats!

     Once the ice cream was done, SMART START friends received their own bowl of vanilla ice cream and they each made an ice cream sundae. The children added yummy toppings to their ice cream: M & M's, rainbow sprinkles and cookie crumbles that they helped break into little pieces. They topped off their creations with chocolate sauce and whipped cream to make the perfect ice cream sundae!
