Ice Creations 07/20/2011

Simple play idea.

Put a larger plastic container in freezer with a small amount of water, add food coloring and small objects.

Hide it in your freezer for a few hours.

Repeat steps one and two until you have a few layers and a few colors.

Now, go outside on a nice hot day and hand your child the ice creations.

We have done this many times. My son asked for a hammer. Although that was never a part of this game before I said, "sure!". He loved it!

I asked my daughter is she wanted to do the same thing but she wanted it to melt in the sun. This did not take long and she pulled out small toys while the sun did it's job. I am pretty sure she saw a princess or two in the ice and did not want them broken.

Honestly... one pirate was harmed in the making of today's fun. He was accidentally split in two by the hammer and worse yet, no one really cared...
