Fill a water balloon and add a few drops of food coloring. Let them freeze (either outside or in the freezer). Once frozen, pop the balloon and you’re left with a beautiful ice globe in the color of your choice. Take them outside to decorate or play.

Discover with water while spending some time in nature! Attach yarn to small water bottles filled with different colored water and let it drip down the yarn to created mixed color masterpieces. Hang the bottles in an easy to reach place and enjoy observing as the icicles grow!

Freeze water in different ice cube trays and tupperware. Add a few drops of food coloring. Leave them outside to freeze. Pop them out of their containers and get building with colored ice blocks!

Maple syrup snow candy is made with pure maple syrup and snow! First, carefully heat the syrup before pouring it hot into the snow to solidify. Adult supervision and necessary.

One simple recipe is to take sweetened condensed milk, and combine with clean snow. For a bit more excitement, combine 1 cup milk, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 8 cups clean snow. Add food coloring, sprinkles, and fruit as your heart desires!

Give kids aluminum foil, tissues, popsicle sticks, paperclips, pencils, silverware, or other household items. Allow them to plan, design, and engineer a skier that can stand on skis and make it down a ski slope. Gets kids thinking about physics, engineering, elements, and design.
