Easy Home-Made Slushees


This is one of my kids favorite recipes. It is easy, fun, cheap and can be healthy. It is home made slushees.

You will need: 1 large resealable baggie, 1 smaller resealable baggie, rock salt or kosher salt, and a drink of choice. We have used all kinds of fruit juices, lemonade, and sodas (I know soda is not the best choice.)










Fill the large bag with crushed ice and about 3 tablespoons of salt.Exact measurements are not required. Fill the smaller bags with a drink.






Put the smalled bag into the larger bag and shake for about 3 minutes. Give or take a minute.









When frozen put in a bowl and serve.

















This is the orange juice.







This is the fruit juice






This is a great treat, I hope you enjoy.

We just made the ice cream in a bag a couple of weeks ago. The slushies sound great—I may have to try this tonight.

Great idea! Bonus tip... get out the winter gloves and let the kids smush, toss and roll the bag for the 3 minutes! That's what we did at a picnic to make ice cream (oh yea, for ice cream, you'll probably need some sugar as well as the vanilla!)

Super Easy Volcanos

I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.
