I decided that the kids needed something to do after school....it seems like they get home....we do homework, have a snack, and watch TV so I can get ready for supper! So I decided to have something planned for them when they got off the bus and found this great idea off Pinterest and the kids loved it! I froze ice in different containers and then the kids sprinkled salt to melt some of the ice and make some "ravines and roads" then they put food coloring to see it run through the ice. To make it a little more fun for the boys I froze some of their little guys and cows in there as well. Kreighton told Kyle "Daddy froze your toys because you would not go to bed last night" which was not true....but kind of funny!
 |
| Kreighton hard at work...she loved the food coloring part the most! |
 |
| Frozen Containers |
 |
| Of course on Pinterest they looked way more colorful.....but it worked for the most part! |
 |
| Kyle loved breaking the ice the most! |
 |
| Which did not surprise me...I think a bigger ice block and more things in it will a super fun summer project! |
 |
| Kreighton was all about using as much salt as possible! |
 |
| Helping her brothers |
 |
| Kael joining in on the fun! |
 |
| Kyle tried the screw driver |
 |
| Almost out....the boys were pretty smart and took them in the bathroom and ran hot water over the ice to help! |
 |
| Kreighton brought the hot water to the pan....which made a bigger mess when I attempted to clean up |
 |
| Almost out! |
It was fun and easy and too see all the kids worked together! Kreighton even figured out that is why they put salt on the roads....to melt the ice!!!
