Painting With Ice


After experimenting with ice and observing snow turn to water when warmed, water turn to ice when sufficiently cooled, and ice drip when temperatures rose, our preschoolers used science to create art!


What we did:
 
  • Made Ice Sticks
    • by partially filling paper cups with water and freezing them with popsicle sticks
  • Donned our paint-shirts
    • because it was about to get messy
  • Gave the Kool-Aid packs a shake
    • sprinkling colored powder across blank paper (and it sure smelled great)!
  • Turned our sprinkled powder into liquid color
    • by sweeping our ice-sticks excitedly across our sheets!



It's true; ice is nice!

Our finished products are fantastic, and all so very unique!  Look for your child's ice-art this Wednesday in their large envelope.
