ice ornaments

With the arrival of freezing weather, comes lots of fun with water and ice!

My kids and I made ice ornaments for the first time a few weeks ago.  It was such a fun activity to do with them on a cold day.  

Just gather a few simple supplies and some Arctic weather and your trees will be adorned with colorful ice ornaments this January!

Supplies:

ice cube tray

twine

food coloring

water

Step 1:  Let your little ones mix the water and food coloring to make the colors they want for their ornaments

Step 2: Pour the colored water into the ice cube tray/mold

Step 3: Lay pieces of twine inside each cube

Step 4: Place the ice cube tray outside and wait for the water to freeze

Step 5: Watch the excitement when the water turns to ice

Step 6: Hang the brightly colored ornaments from the trees to enjoy on your snow day!
