Ingredients
½ pint of heavy cream
1 clean pint jar or other similarly-sized container with a tight cover or lid, preferably plastic
1 clean marble
Container for butter
Small mesh strainer
Crackers or bread
Butter knife
Directions
Take your jar and place the marble inside. Pour the cream into the jar and screw the cover on tightly. Invite your child to shake the jar. Listen for the marble bouncing up and down.After the marble cannot be heard anymore, you’ll know the cream is thickening. Keep shaking. Soon you will start to see the glob of butter form. Strain the butter. Find and remove the marble. Place the butter into a container of your choice to store or use. Invite your child to spread some butter on a cracker or piece of bread for a special snack. Yum!
