Mason-Jar-Ice-Cream-Bar

Who says that weddings are the only occasions worthy of unique and creative ideas? If you’re looking for a fun and fabulous way to serve ice cream at your next special event, then look no further than this amazing idea of serving individual portions of ice cream in mason jars.

While this idea was originally intended for a wedding reception, it is versatile enough to be used for any special occasion, such as birthday parties, picnics, or even a casual backyard gathering. The concept is simple: instead of using messy cones or tubs and paper bowls, scoop individual servings of ice cream into mason jars and chill them in a large ice bucket. This not only makes for a beautiful presentation but also keeps the ice cream cold and delicious.

To make this idea even more personalized and fun, provide an assortment of chopped fruit, sprinkles, and other ice cream toppings in matching containers. Guests can then scoop their favorite fixings into their mason jar of ice cream to create a sweet treat that is customized to their liking.

The best part about this idea is that it is incredibly easy to execute. All you need are some mason jars, an ice bucket, and your favorite ice cream flavors and toppings. It is a great way to add a fun and interactive element to your event while also keeping things simple and hassle-free for yourself.

This idea is also environmentally friendly as it eliminates the need for disposable cups or bowls. Mason jars can be reused, which reduces waste and helps the planet.

In addition to being perfect for special occasions, this idea is also great for casual summer gatherings or even a family movie night. You can set up a DIY ice cream bar and let everyone create their own unique combinations. A great way to make single-serve icecream for every day family life too. A simple way to control the mess and allow children to grab their own icecream.

Serving individual portions of ice cream in mason jars is a fantastic idea that is perfect for any occasion. Not only does it look beautiful and personalized, but it is also practical, fun, and environmentally friendly. So, the next time you’re planning a special event, consider stealing this idea and impressing your guests with a sweet treat they won’t forget!

Learning about Hanukkah is important for people of all faiths as a reminder that December isn’t just about Christmas and that their are many other important holidays that happen during this time. Hanukkah unit studies can give you ideas for incorporating the holiday into your holiday studies that happen in December, or to use at home for learning about people of different faiths.

Homeschool Superfreak has a lot of basic ideas for how to build a Hanukkah unit study, as well as FAQs about what Hanukkah is and why it is celebrated. This list is a good stargint point but doesn’t include all the details you’ll need. For example it says you can play the dreidel game but doesn’t explain how to do that or why it’s important. (If you need that information, this post from Mama Smiles is a good source.)

Teachers Pay Teachers has lots of great lesson plans and activities if you’re willing to pay a little bit to get some good content. Two I really like are this Hanukkah PowerPoint presentation from Shelia Melton, which provides a good overview of traditions, food and the history of Hanukkah; and a virtual field trip to Jerusalem from MagiCore, which includes lots of videos showing the city and activities like playing dreidel, drawing a menorah and making latkes. It’s a Google Drive folder and also includes writing activities and more for kids in second to fifth grade.

Kids Activities Blog has some simple printables with facts about Hanukkah and things kids can color in like a Star of David, sufganiyots (jelly doughnuts) and a menorah. These are great for learning the basics.

Homeschool Giveaways has a printable ebook about Hanukkah complete with questions kids can answer after they read. This would be a good one for older kids with good reading comprehension.

NurtureStore’s Hanukkah unit study includes a printable mini book, tons of crafts, as well as math and writing activities. I love the dominoes game that’s part of the unit.
