For our fun activity on this day we made homemade butter and muffins together.
I let them choose the muffin mix when we went grocery shopping together at the beginning of the week. (They chose Lemon Poppyseed. These muffins were incredibly delicious.) Then I let them each do 1 ingredient, and each take turns stirring. They loved putting the muffin liners in.
Once the muffins were in the oven, we started on the butter. I couldn’t find lids for any of my tiny mason jars (which I highly recommend using) so we used Tupperware containers. It worked, but leaked just a few drips one time. I simply poured some heavy whipping cream in and told them to shake shake shake.
I let them watch a show while they shook (with a blanket under in case it leaked). It takes 10 good minutes of shaking, but since they took breaks as they got tired, after the show the butter was ready to go.
It worked! They used the butter they had just made to spread on their muffins.
