Saturday, July 17th: Washing Laundry
All that playing around meant kids got their clothes really dirty! But how did they get their clothes clean without washing machines? It's time to roll up your sleeves and get your hands wet as you will plunge, scrub, wring, and hang some laundry!
Saturday, July 24th: Churning Butter
Butter makes everything better, but how do you get it to go from creamy liquid to a pat ready to spread? Practice your hand (and arms!) at churning butter three different ways.
