Summer Fun- Ice Play


Today we are adding another fun activity to our Summer Fun Sensory Play collection.  Ice play is such a simple and fun way to keep cool.  Not only that, but it is frugal and there are TONS of ways to explore with ice.  We have painted with ice, explored MAGIC ice, enjoyed simple ice and water sensory play, freed objects from ice, and explored with ice and salt just to name a few.  Today, we tried something a little different and made OCTO- ICE.  This activity was loaded with sensory exploration and non- stop giggles!

While Rosie played with her Summer Snow  I thought about how we could use the idea of frozen shaving cream further.  I tried adding scent and color and it transformed this sensory material from a fluffy clean snow to an icy cold & super fluffy dough.  


Freezy Dough is AMAZINGLY fun for kids, and super simple for parents to make, too!
