We are in a bit of a heat wave here, so I knew we needed something fun and cool for an activity this weekend. Enter Ice Treasures, a simple concept that will keep the kids interested and cool them off all at the same time! Here’s what you need
Ice cube trays
Water
Water friendly toys/items (beads, coins, small figures etc)
Play hammers
Fill your ice-cube trays with water and drop into each cube, one (if large) or a few (if small) of the water friendly items. Freeze over night. The next day, sit outdoors and give each of your little ones a kid friendly hammer to begin chipping the ice away to get to the treasure inside! We did this right in the grass and they had so much fun! For a little extra enjoyment you can create a large block of ice by filling a larger plastic container with the water and toys. This lasts a bit longer and takes a little more effort on the kid’s part, so gage the activity by the child’s age. Enjoy and stay cool!!
