Pioneer Activity



Early this summer our Primary had a Saturday Pioneer activity. They had a handcart replica, and learned how little could be packed (less stuff than I'm packing in the back of our van for our one week road trip, although more food). Afterward, the children made ice cream. The ingredients were put in a sealed glass jar, which was put in a #10 can with ice, then sealed. The children rolled their containers back and forth for about ten minutes, until dessert was chilled and thickened. The most interesting part of the day was watching Miriam "adopt" an older girl, whom she tagged along with most of the activity, like a new-found sister.
