I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of sugaring up the kids with whipped cream and candy – BUT – this was fun, they had to work for their whipped cream 🙂 AND it was super easy.

When I was in my last few weeks of pregnancy, a few months ago and getting outside with the kids for physical activity has been a challenge! It is easy to send them outside – but they like when they have a task or when I am out there with them 🙂 this was a super fun task – and they got to enjoy their hard work!!!

Mason Jar Whipped Cream

1 mason jar with a lid
2-3 TBS of (organic) whipping cream
TINY sprinkle of (organic, raw) sugar *or stevia
TINY drop of vanilla extract
LOTS AND LOTS OF SHAKING.

I sent the boys to the yard to run and shake their jars… expending any energy that could possibly be gained with the sugar in the whipped cream. They had a blast!! It might take some adult shaking – but all the kids got their jars pretty close 🙂 and ready to be put on some FRESH strawberries that are just coming into season!

It made a great addition to our movie night on Friday!! Because their little hands are warm, and because they are going to have to shake it longer than an adult would (or a mixer would) – chill the cream and jars well (I put both in the freezer).
