I is for Ice

A couple of ice related activities...

Ice painting using powdered drink mix

Dip an ice cube in powdered drink mix and watch as the ice melts a bit and creates a watercolor type picture. (Use unsweetened drink mix so you don't end up with sticky pictures.) The results? Fruity smelling and colorful.

And of course, making ice cream...

We followed this recipe for ice cream in a bag. It worked great. Took less than ten minutes to set up. We sat in a circle on the floor and squished and shook and pounded and stomped gently. My only criticism was that one bag made a pretty small amount by the time you squeezed it out of the bag but my kids loved it.
