L is obsessed with "treasure" and he loves to play in water and so I froze some small toys and trinkets in an ice cube tray and then let him drop them into warm water to discover the hidden "treasure."
His new treasure collection
I'll definately be doing this activity again in the summer. These would be a great summer water activity...even in a kiddie pool.Heck, we could just put the ice cubes on the sidewalk! I've already got lots of ice melting ideas for summer. I'm thinking BIG ice blocks.

ReplyDeleteMy kids are a bit older and we use colored water (the darker the better) and then I give them a play hammer and they pretend to be archeologists and chip away!
