When you live in a climate where the weather is not necessarily super cold it’s always fun to create a few icy moments with kids so that they can have a little fun.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a simple hands-on way to teach children about science by experimenting with temperatures and properties of matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a peek at our backyard explorations this past week when the temperatures were below 32 at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating Ice for Backyard Play<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Plan ahead and purposefully leave containers filled with a little bit of water out in your backyard so that you can have opportunities for ice explorations with the kids.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water table works out to be the best spot to get the largest pieces of ice.  We invite you to take a moment to peek at our adventures with ice.
