How to Churn Butter – Little House Pioneer Activity

Supplies:

  • Baby food or mayonnaise jar
  • whipped cream

Instructions:

  1. Choose a day when it is not very hot outside, or do this activity indoors.
  2. Working alone or with a friend so your arms do not get tired, put cream into the jar (approx one tablespoon of cream for a small baby food jar).
  3. Start shaking! After fifteen to twenty minutes of vigorous shaking, you should have a lump of butter in your jar.
  4. Enjoy it on a slice of bread like Laura did.
