Want a free, fun, and educational outside activity?

Here it is!

Today was beautiful! Just last week we had 2 feet of snow and today it was 67 degrees out! So, of course we had to have enjoy it. I saw this idea last year but never got the time try it. It's super simple and my daughter loved it.

All you need is water, small toys, a bowl, and something to hit the ice with. You can also add food coloring or glitter to make it extra fun.

I froze my toys in layers and you can use pretty much any small toy (Barbie shoes, army men, dinosaur, beads, rings, etc)

After it's  all frozen it's time to have fun!

Let your little one use some tools to get the toys out. We used a water bottle with hot water, flat head screwdriver, and a butter knife.  But you can be creative and decide what they should use.

All in all my daughter had a blast trying to get her toys out. While having fun she also used her problem solving skills which was a plus. We will definitely be doing this again!

Ready to play!

Almost to the seashells!
