Colored Ice Cubes

With temps reaching 100 today it was only appropriate to play in the water and with ice cubes. Thanks to the blog, "Play, Create, Explore", I came across this fun, summer activity. Elyse spent a long time mixing and watching colors change. Caleb, about five minutes :) Oh well, I totally recommend it. It was not only lots of fun, but educational.

DIRECTIONS:
Fill ice cube trays with water
Drop 1 or 2 drops of food coloring into each tray
Let freeze in freezer
Fill a bunch of clear containers full of water
Have child drop one color cube into each container to see it melt.
Add two different cubes or have child pour two colored waters into new container to make purple, orange and green
Enjoy!
