This is an simple and entertaining game, especially for a hot day. Simply place plastic toys in a bowl or container and then freeze. After frozen, give the kiddos plastic or wooden tools to dig their toys out! The ice will slowly melt making them easier and easier to excavate.
2. Colored Ice
A colorful and fun activity in the snow or cold weather! Fill 7 inch balloons with water and a few drops of liquid food coloring, tie and shake, and then let them freeze over night. Use them to decorate your snow-filled yard for a pop of whimsical color.
