Strawberry Slush
Creating a yummy frozen treat
Month 7 · Activity 16 · Cooking
Instructions
Have a child measure the three ingredients and place in a blender:
8 ounces of frozen strawberries
8 ounces of apple juice
8 ice cubes
- Blend until slushy
- Enjoy for a snack or with a meal
Simplify
Use a one-ounce measurement (measuring cup, shot glass) and let the child count-out the measurement 8 times for strawberries and 8 times for apple juice when putting into the blender. Encourage the child to count out the 8 ice cubes also.
Extend
Chat about appliances and why they help in the kitchen. Today, we are using a blender but can you name other appliances that help in the kitchen - toaster, mixer, waffle maker, etc. If we don't have a blender, what can we do to make the Strawberry Slush?
