Making Butter

We got to the chapter in Little House in the Big Woods where Ma, Mary, and Laura churn butter.
We predicted how butter was made and then watched a video about making butter the traditional way.


We recorded the ingredients and directions in our Think Books. Then we were ready to begin! We put in a little Taylor Swift (to Shake It Off Up)...

and we were off!
Our muscles got tired, but soon our cream started to thicken.

After a *lot* more shaking, we checked inside our jars.
Once we poured off the liquid, we were ready to spread it on some bread.

We all thought it was dee-licious!

Here is a video--for those of you who want a little more butter party experience.

  1. We loved your Butter making video and watching you make butter. The video was cool. We hope that the butter tasted good. How long did it take you to make the butter? Jacob says that he hopes that it was fast! What did you feel like when you were shaking the cream?

  2. Dear Mrs. Oss' Class,
    The butter was truly delicious. Have you ever heard Taylor Swift sing "Shake it off?" It took about 3 songs while we shook and shook. It was fun, and it seemed like it went fast.
    Love,
    Mrs. Henning's Class
