This is a fun activity to do on a warm day. Our day wasn't incredibly warm but, warm enough to melt our ice paint. We colored water with food coloring and then poured it in an ice tray. Then before the cubes set up we stuck popsicle sticks into the cubes. After they were frozen I loosened them by setting the tray's bottom in warm water. Then we took them outside to paint on paper I taped to the fence. It was fun!

Cute idea! Some questions: Does it stain? Does it actually color on the paper? I can't see that from the picture. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWell, it is food coloring so I bet it would stain. It does color on the picture if it is melting. If it's not melting fast enough you can dip it in a cup of water. We did that and it helped. Thanks for your comment!
