As the weather gets colder, incorporate ice into your play! Our family favorite is to fill water balloons (or normal balloons, just don’t fill too big!), add food coloring and freeze them. Once frozen solid, we take them outside, peel off the balloon & have fun playing with colorful ice globes.
A variation is to add toys or nature items to the water, then “excavate” them.
Here is a list of other ice activities your grown up can look up online!
