First a peek inside my deep freezer
Desperately in need of defrosting! But this is were I have been keeping a secret from my kids. Hint-it’s in the topless milk cartons.-No, not frozen milk! I have been freezing various tiny treasures in colorful layers of water!
First, cut top off of milk carton. Next add about 1 to 2 inches of water and food coloring along with a few treasures. I used coins, bells, beads, buttons, crayons, tiny plastic toys etc… After that layer freezes, repeat, over and over until close to the top! This was a great activity to combat the heat of the day! I put my kids and their ice blocks in to the baby pool to find their frozen treasures.
First peel back the carton.
The Unplugged Project theme for this week is Rough and Rough is what you need to be to find your treasures!
Then don some eye protection!
Then get out your little hammers and chisels and I gave my kids nails also. This helps to break apart those tough (rhymes with rough-the unplugged theme!) little frozen goodies.
The food coloring will stain your kids skin as the colored ice melts-just remember that when you wonder were your kids got such horrific bruises!
