Enjoy a colorful experience without adding any dye! Here’s a fun idea for pom-pom ice play.

Ice with color feels extra special, doesn’t it? But sometimes you can’t grab the paints right away or your hands are full.

This time, let’s play with a method that makes colorful ice without making colored water.

You’ll need a round ice tray, decorative pom-pom balls, and water.

Just place the colorful pom-pom balls into a round-ice mold and freeze—simple and fun!

Let’s try making our favorite ice.

[For 3-year-olds] Let's make your favorite ice!

Your very own special item! Here are some ideas for making your favorite ice.

The cool, chilly feel of ice is exciting for children, isn’t it? This time, let’s create special ice packed with your favorite things.

You’ll need an ice tray, a plastic bottle, paints, and items like grass, flowers, twigs, and nuts.

Put the treasures you find on a walk—such as grass and flowers—into the ice tray and freeze them together with colored water.

The children’s sparkling, glowing expressions will be unforgettable.

Ice Step

step on ice

Winter mornings are very cold, but even on such days you can find little things to enjoy.

On your way to work or school, heading to daycare, or out for a morning walk, if you spot a frozen puddle, why not try touching it or stepping on it to play a bit? The way the thin ice cracks with a crisp snap is a sight unique to winter.

Enjoy the feel and the sound, too.

Every place has its own seasonal delights.

Even along the roadside on a bitterly cold winter morning, you can find simple fun like this.

Of course, be careful not to slip and fall while you play.

I wonder if ice will form?

[For 5-year-olds] Make ice and do experiment play

How about some ice-based experiment play that’s perfect for cold winter days? Put water in a container or bucket, add flowers or leaves that children like, and leave it outside overnight to freeze—that’s it.

Kids can have fun touching the cold ice or melting it to retrieve what’s inside.

You can also “fish” for ice by sprinkling salt on it so that it sticks to a string.

Try it out using the ice the children make.

Let’s spark plenty of curiosity and a spirit of inquiry through experimental play that makes the most of ice’s unique properties!

Frozen soap bubble

Soap bubble that freezes in seconds

You don’t need any special methods or techniques—just a very cold, chilly environment—for the ice bubble activity.

In the cold air, soap bubbles freeze in an instant.

What do you think happens to a frozen bubble? A bubble that has been rapidly frozen by the frigid air lands on the ground without popping.

Its surface freezes over.

Watching an unpopped bubble touch down is strange and a bit mystical.

It’s a fun way to play that’s unique to the cold of winter.
