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.

We had to KEEP shaking!

Getting close!

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.

Finally it was time to eat it!

We thought it was dee-licious!
