Ice Chalk Play
Grab the kids and head outside where they will have a blast making icy works of art, and handing the ice is a great way for kids to cool off on a hot day!
Then, after a bit of play I gave them spray bottles of vinegar, and they had a blast spraying their art, making colorful eruptions all over the pavement.
