We came across this great and fun idea for ice painting on Kidspot. It's a good one to do on a hot summer’s day – it's cooling, fun and colourful. Definitely a job for old-clothing!
What you need
Ice cube tray
Water
Food colouring
A skewer
Paper
How to
1. Fill the ice cube tray with water.
2. Drop two drops of colouring into each cube, starting with the four main colours first.
3. Use the skewer to stir the colour into the water so it blends properly.
4. Start mixing colours to fill up the rest of the trays - use one drop of each colour (one red and one yellow for orange etc). The more colouring you put in, the more it will stain when the ice melts!
5. Freeze overnight.
6. Place ice into a bowl and let the kids paint! Keep another bowl of warm, soapy water and a towel nearby so the kids can clean (and warm!) their hands.
