Looking for a fun project to keep your kids occupied this summer? Jon & Kate Plus 8's Kate Gosselin shows Rachael two ideas for DIY fun!

Homemade Ice Cream

You'll need:

• 1 large Ziploc bag
• 1 small Ziploc bag
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 cup cream
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 6 tablespoons rock salt (regular salt is OK if you can't find rock salt)
• Ice

Fill the large Ziploc bag halfway with ice and rock salt. In the small Ziploc bag, mix cream, sugar and vanilla. Place the small sealed bag into the larger bag and shake for 15 minutes. When finished, add toppings like cookie crumbs or M&Ms and enjoy!

Bathtub Boat Races

You'll need:

• Plastic takeout containers or clean microwavable meals dishes
• Popsicle sticks
• Construction paper
• Glue stick

Apply a glob of glue in the middle of the plastic tray and insert a popsicle stick, standing upright. Create a sail using a 2"x 2" piece of construction paper, crayons or markers and your imagination. Fold it around the top of the popsicle stick to make a sail and adhere using the glue stick. Place in the tub (with parental supervision) and get sailing!
