What do we do when it's 40 degrees C outside?
Stay indoors and play with ice. :)
Earlier in the week, we had a couple of really hot days and I thought it would be the perfect time to give E this activity. I coloured some water using food dyes and froze it in a heart-shaped muffin tray. That's it. I put them in a tub with a few ordinary ice cubes. They were a lot of fun to play with.
They were fun to stack.
Some rubber ducks got in on the fun.
When the ice started to melt, it made icky-looking green water. We added some dish-soap bubbles.
I actually refilled the muffin tray and we've done this activity a few times. One batch had glitter added. The glitter wasn't really noticeable until the ice melted. Then we had pretty, glittery water. :)
We also introduced a second tray for transferring the slippery ice to and a strainer-spoon and a few small containers for scooping and filling. Lots of fun for a hot day or two.
How have you been keeping cool?
