We had a great time making ice cream out of SNOW! See below for the recipe thanks to my friend Candace! Stirring up ice cream is a great way for children to work on their bilateral motor skills. These skills are used for activities like cutting and holding the paper while you print ! Share with us if you make some ice cream too! ... Snow Ice Cream 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces) 1 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla Bowl of Snow (about 1/2 gallon) Mix first 3 Ingredients together and then add snow. Until it is the consistency that you would like! #AdvanceOT #FamilyFunctionForward #OTMom #RealLife

Did you know that power struggles during mealtime increases adrenaline shutting down children’s appetites? Trying to keep mealtime calm is one way to help children eat better! While we are on the topic of food, I want to give a shout-out to Spring River Cattle Co. They just filled my little freezer with a custom and very affordable order! Check them out for all your beef needs! ... Happy Friday Danielle #AdvanceOT #FamilyFunctionForward #SupportLocal
