Busy Hands: Ice Play

It's been hot.

Reeeally hot man.

The kids have been cranky.

Reeeally super-@*&! cranky.

What's a mother to do?...


PLAY WITH ICE!

What you need:
 - ice
 - a good blender or some other gadget that will shave your ice to snow consistency
 - food coloring

What you do:

Shave ice. Dump in bucket. Add food coloring. Let play. Sit back and enjoy...










This activity started at the table in a big plastic container, it then evolved into a build-your-own-snowball-then-eat-it-or-throw-it-around event.
Whatevs... they were happy, entertained and cooling off.
Success!

A simple sensory play idea that they thought was the bee's knees... lol!




I know the boy looks sad, but that's only because I wouldn't let him dump the entire thing in the pool... wah wah...


Happy Creating!
:)


P.S: don't forget to save some of that ice for a margarita :)


Please leave me a comment, I would love your feedback. Thanks!
