Some mornings this winter it was a little hard to keep 4 year old Sweet Pea occupied since we couldn’t go out and play with the frigid windchill hovering around zero.
One thing we did was play with water! I got out some containers and food coloring and we experimented with different color combinations, using an eye dropper to transfer water. Sweet Pea also practiced pouring and when the water ended up in some ice and muffin trays right before he said he was done playing, I cut some lengths of yarn and dunked it into the water. I then carefully placed the trays outdoors to freeze!
We did this a couple of years ago and were able to hang our ornaments on our front tree for some color. Unfortunately this year it started to snow those big, heavy snowflakes and by the time I retrieved the trays they had all overflowed and made one big ice chunk!
Discovered if you out your hand into a bowl full of water it ‘overflows’ and ended up learning the meaning of the word several through different methods!
