Ice Decorations - Science Experiment

Ice Decorations

I'm sure I heard of this idea through a tweet on my twitter account, I'm pretty sure it came from @redtedart. Here is the link to the @redtedart's idea. I used the bottom of some milk containers filled them with some water. Let the kids at sparkles, ribbons. I added a long ribbon, making a loop for hanging. We talked about what is going to happen when we take these outside. The kids wanted to say the water was going to melt. Therefore we added freezing to their vocabulary. I'm hoping to get a picture of them hanging from the fence or trees in their frozen state asap.

Winter Sensory Bin

The children enjoyed buckets of snow in the sensory bin. Unfortunately by mid week all the snow has turned to ice.. We will have to wait for a new snow fall to try it again.

The Snowy Day By Ezra Jack Keats

To Create a Snowy Day for Peter to play in the children painted with a string tied to a popsicle stick. The following day the children glued a boy and his outdoor clothes for some fun snow time.
