Ice Ornaments
Time: 10-15 minutes + freeze time
Materials: flat-bottomed containers (about 6” x 6” or equivalent circle works well), string or yarn
Activity: Let kids know that you are going to use ice to make art. Since ice is clear, you can see through it and see anything inside. Have kids collect natural items or have some biodegradable items on hand such as orange slices or cranberries. Place the items in your flat-bottomed container and add just enough water to cover them. If your items float, you may need to add a layer to weigh them down. Put some string in the water on one side of the ornament. Freeze the containers overnight outside. When they are frozen, pop out and hang your ice ornaments outside to admire.
