Colorful Ice Blocks To Play With Outside

When we finally had enough empty milk and juice cartons to make blocks I cut the tops off the cartons, the kids dripped various combinations of food coloring into the cartons and we filled them with water and put them outside to freeze.

A couple of days later we peeled the cartons away from the ice blocks…some were frozen a little more solid than others.

The colored water that dripped out made for pretty snow to play in

Colorful snow balls!

Now I am back to hording the empty cartons and yogurt containers to make more colorful ice blocks!

Homemade Pop!

Well…not really pop according to my son but fizzy juice, almost like pop to the rest of us!!!

For a pitcher mix 3 cans seltzer with 1 container juice concentrate

I used this seltzer

For just a glass mix 1 cup seltzer plus 6 to 8 Tablespoons thawed juice concentrate
