Layers
of Colors Frozen Art and Science
This is a favorite in my house. Sure, your child has
“painted with ice colors” a zillion times before, but did she ever make
color-infused cubes? The ice-making process does take some time, but the result
is outstandingly awesome. Your child can mix art and science, using a straw to
break through the cubes as the turn from liquid to solid, adding layers of
colors.
Frozen
Primary Paint
Yellow and blue makes green! Even though mixing
paint on its own teaches your child about the primaries and secondaries, doing
so with ice cubes ups the fun factor. Freeze red, yellow and blue cubes, fill a
few containers with primary colors of water and get splashing. Throw down a
piece of paper under the ice water to make a Jackson Pollock paint project.
Glow
in the Dark Ice Paint
It’s all about the tonic water. Somehow I made it
through decades without knowing the science behind tonic. Under a black light
it glows. Make some tonic cubes, get a groovy black light and shine away.
Glitter
Glue Cubes
Glitter makes almost everything more fun. Sprinkle
some in some water, add a drop of food coloring and freeze it. When the cubs
are solid, your child can paint with them. Worried about the glitter drying and
going everywhere? Paint on glue first to catch the sparkly stuff.
Chalk
Ice
What happens when you smash up chalk, add water and
freeze it? Read about this art and science activity to find out!
Princess
Pops
Cool off on a hot day with these tasty treats! Your
little princess can add the edible equivalent of glitter to juice and make
these pretty popsicles.
Pirate
Pops
If you don’t have a princess on your hands, pirate
pops are an easy alternative. Arrrr matey! These skull and cross bone popsicles
have a buried treasure inside.

Keep the children cool this late spring! Notwithstanding the recently positioned cardboard apparition and witch patterns and loads of sweets corn and small Chuckles bars, it truly isn't fall or Halloween time yet. At the point when the mercury hits a record high - and your youngster whimpers, "In any case, Mommmmmmyyyy I'm so exhausted!" get educated and begin chilling off with an art or two.
