Colorful Ice Crayons

Distinctively soft, gentle colors! Here are some ideas for colorful ice crayons.

If your child is getting bored with drawing using regular crayons or colored pencils, why not try making ice crayons to spark their interest? You’ll need an egg carton or ice tray, water-based markers, straws, water, and plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

As the ice melts, it glides smoothly, making the drawing sensation uniquely fun! They’re also great for resist art and coloring.

Give it a try and bring this activity into your routine.

Ice Treasure Hunt

Visually beautiful and exciting play! Here’s an idea for an Ice Treasure Hunt.

Treasure hunts are one of kids’ favorite activities, right? Some children think carefully about where the treasure might be hidden as they search, while others touch and check everything they see—there are all kinds of approaches.

This time, it’s an idea for an ice treasure hunt where the treasure is visible but frustratingly hard to get, and that challenge is part of the fun.

All you need are plastic cups and small toys.

Put the toys and water into the plastic cups and freeze them.

Chilly, limited-time accessories! Let me introduce the idea of ice rings.

Some children who admire princesses or love fashion might want to collect accessories.

This time, let’s try making limited-time ice rings.

You’ll need an ice tray, a dropper, colored water, and aluminum foil.

If the ice tray has motifs like hearts or stars, it will look even more appealing.

Be sure to give it a try while you can!

Drawing with ice

[STEAM Early Childhood Education] Ice Play — Bringing More STEAM Education into Early Childhood

Let’s play a drawing game that uses the property of ice melting.

There are two ways to draw with ice.

First, draw freely with water-based colored pens on drawing paper or similar.

Then simply trace over it with a chunk of ice.

As the ice melts, the water-based ink begins to dissolve.

The colors blend together—how mysterious! The other way to draw with ice is to color the ice itself.

Use an ice tray to make colorful ice cubes—red, blue, yellow, and so on.

Once they’re frozen, take them out and try drawing on white drawing paper.

The colored ice will melt and spread across the paper, creating a very beautiful effect.

Every child has toys that are special to them or favorites they love, right? How about using those toys to make ice? To rescue the toys trapped in a frozen world, kids will likely focus on melting the ice.

Try it in a way that’s enjoyable and safe for your child, and make the most of those hot summer days.
