More ice play

Catalina loved playing with icecubes as much as mixing colours. I decided to make more coloured ice cubes and let her mix them using ziploc bags.

Freezing and thawing is a great concept for little kids to experiment with. Include the children in the process of making the ice cubes and all of a sudden it’s a science experiment.
Here are a few science investigations that your little kids are sure to love:

• Does water freeze faster in the freezer or outside?
• Does it melt faster in the sun, or sitting by the heater?
• Which melts faster a big ice chunk or a small chunk?
• Does adding salt change how fast our ice thaws?
• Does ice float or sink?

she chose and placed the ice cubes in the bag and waited till they melt.

(in fact, she wanted to help squeezing the bag, but keep it as a secret :)

finally she got the new colours and used them to paint using big paintbrushes.
