To make these vibrant , colorful ice blocks , I simply added several drops of food coloring to a square muffin pan and froze for approximately 24 hours . Salt holds the ice together for your little sculptor .
We had great fun with frozen ice balls . These are frozen water balloons that weren ’ t quite frozen all the way , which conveniently left a hole in the center which was perfect for sculpting a superhero castle .
I gave my sons salt , food coloring , and sprinkles , and they picked the toys they wanted to incorporate . The end result was a beautiful ice sculpture that they got several hours of play out of .
There are many ways to play with ice , including themed bins . Think of everything from Antarctica and toy penguins , to ice excavations where you freeze toys in ice and give your child a rubber mallet . These ice sculptures , however , have been a favorite for my children . I hope
yours enjoy this activity as well .
Happy Summer !
