Put Anything On Ice
Practical Life, Sensorial and Science all wrapped into one!!
Before we dove in we talk about water and how it can be liquid, solid, and vapor. How and why each of these states happens to the water. Then I did a big reveal about how there is something other than the heat that will melt the water faster - SALT!
[The reason all New England cars rust. I didn't say that but I wanted too. They will find out one day, sigh.]
Toy Cars, Plastic Dinos or Animals, Found Objects From Nature - put anything in ice and invite your kids to melt it out!
They will love it, I promise!
Materials:
Container that you can put in the freezer
Hint: I like to use empty leafy greens containers from salads - reuse, recycle, repurpose! You can always recycle it after.
Water
Fun Objects/Materials, these Arts & Crafts Supplies for Kids Crafts are a great bang for your buck.
Salt
Spoons, Nail Brush, or Sponge for scooping, scrubbing, and melting the ice with salt!
I love these Natural Sisal Dish Washing Brushes, they are so pretty!
Directions:
Place Fun Objects in Container.
Pour Water into Contain.
Place in Freezer until water is frozen.
Flip frozen ice onto the cookie tray or work tray. Provide a SMALL amount of salt and water with helpful melting tools like brushes, spoons, and sponges.
