Patience With Butter

For Family Home Evening tonight, I prepared a lesson on patience.  My thoughts were geared towards teaching the kids to have some, but honestly it was an education for me too.  To teach them (myself) about patience, I wanted to plan an activity that took a significant amount of time, but also had a fun outcome at the end.  So tonight we made butter!  It took a good 25 minutes of shaking, but we got it in the end.  Then we all ate some homemade butter on warm bread.  Yum!

  1. Mmmm. I made butter once on accident... Not so good when you want whipped cream, but definitely good on bread.
