It's winter.. so why not enjoy some COLD color fun?
Here is the toddler idea for the week:
Fill ice cube trays full of water, and put different food coloring in the cubes. Once they freeze, the fun can begin!!
Either (for little ones) simply use the ice cubes as "cold crayons" and color with them- You may want to wear mittens :)
Or you can do some science with it:
Put a color in a bowl and discuss the color with your child. (Example: blue)
Then put a drop of another primary color on top of the ice cube (example red) Watch what happens!!
Your child will be very excited to see it change to purple. He/she will want to test out other colors. You could make a chart as you go:
Blue + Red = purple
Blue + Yellow = Green
This is TONS of fun!
Sorry I don't have any pictures at this time- but you'll have to trust me that it's loads of fun :)
PS you may need to wear a smock or dirty clothes as the ice cubes melt and the color does stain.
