It's been pretty warm here lately so we decided to have an ice party! I froze different trinkets in ice and we watched them melt and we floated ice boats but the best part was ice painting! Here is what we did... the night before I mixed water and food coloring in ice trays and dropped a stick in each one. Then stuck the trays in the freezer. Because we were going to have three or more painters on this particular day I needed to create a bigger table so I used our "campfire" chairs and a piece of shelving. (P.S- I recommend doing this outside. With the ice melting, it makes a mess. We tried it inside this winter and it was not a good idea!)
The kids lined up at the "table" and I gave them each a container (I just use old butter and sour cream containers) with the four different colors of ice paint that I made. It was a windy day so we found big rocks in the yard to keep the paper from blowing away. The kids had a great time painting and of course, eating the ice!
