Ice Cream In a Bag

ICY ART
This is one cool activity. As the ice melts, the paint drips away, leaving a fresh blank canvas.
Fill plastic containers (we used food-storage boxes) with water and freeze. On a hot day, bring the containers outside, let them warm up, and release the ice. Using brushes and cups filled with washable tempera, kids can have chilly fun swirling and blending colors on the blocks until the ice has all melted.
Good Tip: Put the ice blocks on the grass and hose it down afterward. The washable paint won't harm your lawn.
