\"\"<\/p>\n

Invite your child to try painting on ice! Fill a plastic container with water and freeze overnight. Fill with water with at least 2 inches of water so children have time to paint and explore before it fully melts. \u00a0I took the ice out of the container and placed it in a tray with a folded paper towel underneath the ice to prevent it from slipping around.<\/p>\n

Try painting with regular tempura paint or even food colouring. \u00a0Observe the difference between painting with tempura paint and food colouring. \u00a0Include different painting tools: paintbrush, sponge brush, toothbrush and an eye dropper for the food colouring.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Watch how the paint pools on the tray as it melts and takes the colour with it. See how the food colouring freezes as soon as it hits the ice. What happens if you add salt? How long will it take for the ice to melt? What new colours can we make? How does the ice feel? There are so many questions when exploring ice. If your child loses interest, leave the activity for a while. Let your child come back later to re-investigate what happens to the ice and paint. What happens if we put the rest of the ice in the sink under running water.<\/p>\n

This is a messy exploration but a fun one that supports language development, science, fine motor skills and sensory play.<\/p>\n
