*from the "Toddler's Busy Book" by Trish Kuffner*
You need:
- Ice cube tray
- Water
- Food colouring of your choice
- Zip Lock Bags (as many as you'd like to make)
Add food colouring to the water and pour into the ice cube tray. Good choices of colours are red, yellow and blue.
Once they are frozen, take out two ice cubes at a time (ex. red+yellow/ red+blue/yellow+blue) and put into a zip lock bag. Watch the ice cubes melt and the colours mix to form new ones.
~ I loved this activity because of the 'sensory' component that it had. My daughter loved touching the ice cubes, and I loved the fact that they were in the bags so that I didn't have to worry about her putting them in her mouth or swallowing the them. ~
You can also use ice cubes during your child's bath time. Just add a few coloured cubes into the bathtub and watch the cubes shrink. Your toddler will love it!
