I receive an E-mail newsletter from, Play-Activities.com where I saw this idea. I thought it would be neat to try so I’m posting it.
Frozen Water Shapes
Materials:
Various size balloons
Food coloring
Eye droppers
Large container for water play
Preparation:
1. Select different shaped balloons
2. Fill with water
3. Put in freezer for a few days
4. After they are frozen solid- cut away the balloon, leaving the shape.
Ideas:
Put the ice shapes into the large container. ( baby bath, paddling pool or water table)
Allow them to drop the food colouring onto the ice and watch the colors change.
Good For:
Hand - Eye Coordination
Experimentation
Creativity
You could also do this with different shaped ice cube trays.
