Mooooove over, protein. Today we read Dairy Products and talked about the dairy food group. The girls learned that anything made from milk is considered a dairy product. Then we decided to take a leap of faith and make butter with our girls. After informing the girls (several times) that we have never done this before and they were the first (which got them extremely excited), we got started.
First we showed them our ingredients/supplies.
Then we poured the whipping cream into a mason jar and added two marbles (to help agitate the cream) and the girls got shaking. And shaking. And shaking.
And shaking.
And shaking.
Finally, we have ourselves some butter.
