This Ice Cube Painting activity could not be easier or more FUN! It only uses two ingredients & the kids have an absolute ball creating with a new medium!
All you need is:
Water
Food Colouring
Ice Cube Trays
Paper
Step 1
Fill your Ice Cube trays 3/4 full with water
Step 2
Add a few drops of food colouring to each segment
Step 3
Mix it together well using the end of a teaspoon or a straw etc
Step 4
Place your concoction in the freezer over night
Step 5
When frozen, pop all of your coloured Ice Cubes out into a bowl (mainly because it looks so pretty).
Step 6
Get your paint on!
I used a baking tray & blue tacked down some paper for the kids to create on! I got them to use tongs to move the ice around the paper to stop their hands from getting stained. You could also do this on the cement outside too (although I’m not too sure on the stain factor – maybe do this at the neighbours house lol!)
This really is such a fun and inexpensive craft to whip up for the kids! Who knew ice could be so fun!
