[Childcare] Recommended for summer and winter! Ice play ideas

ice rolling

Let's Enjoy Winter Activities! [Ages 0–2] | Minami Senrioka Play & Learning Nursery School [Daycare/Kindergarten Event]

Ice-rolling is a great recommendation for teachers who want to keep kids active outdoors even in the cold winter.

Place ice you’ve made in the freezer onto a pipe that’s been cut in half.

If you give the pipe a slight incline, you can watch the ice roll in a fun way.

Of course, prepare scoops for picking up the ice, but it’s also fine to let the children touch it with their bare hands.

They’ll never get tired of observing the texture of the ice and how it melts.

Even in warmer regions, this method lets you enjoy ice play, so give it a try!

Drawing an ‘ocean’ with colored ice

[Summer Craft] Painting with Colored Ice! [For 1-Year-Olds]

Let’s take a peek into an underwater world using refreshing ice paints.

To make ice paint, place your favorite paints or food coloring into each section of an ice tray, add water on top, and mix.

Insert a stick to make a handle, then put it in the freezer until it freezes.

While the ice paint is freezing, draw sea creatures on white drawing paper using a white crayon.

Once the ice paint is ready, brush the colors over the paper with your drawing.

The areas you drew will repel the ice paint, and your picture will magically appear.

If the teachers at a daycare or kindergarten draw the pictures and let the children do the coloring, even very young kids can enjoy this activity with ease!

glove ice

[Viewer discretion?] I tried making a creepy hand!

Let me introduce a slightly spooky handmade ice toy.

Let’s make colored ice in the shape of a hand.

First, prepare colored water using food coloring in various shades, then pour plenty of it into a silicone glove.

Once it’s full, tie the opening and put the glove in the freezer to chill and harden.

After it has frozen solid, remove the silicone glove from the ice.

What emerges is colored ice shaped like a hand.

It’s creepy yet fascinating—quite a creation.

Just leaving it out is startling enough, and watching it melt is surely part of the fun as well.

Treasure Hunt

[Couple Formed!?] We rented out a school with the latest Today, I Fell in Love members and played treasure-hunt tag, and we ended up covered in mud lollllll

Hide colorful, fun toys inside frozen ice, and have everyone come up with clever ways to get them out.

Because the ice is clear, you can see what’s inside, yet you can’t take it out right away—there’s a tantalizing frustration and the fun of figuring out how to conquer it.

So how do you melt the frozen ice? Use water guns.

If you keep spraying the water gun at the toy you want, the ice will melt, a hole will open up, and you’ll reach the toy.

If you prepare a large block of ice, you can play with lots of friends at summer festivals.

Or, if you make smaller ones, it’s easy to enjoy at home too.
