Paint Activity with Ice

Ever tried to use ice for a paint activity? It does get cold, I must warn you, but children love to try and keep that slippery ice in their little hands. By doing this activity in the winter T.I.M.E., you can take a moment to talk to your child about hot and cold, the changing seasons, and encourage them to actively think about thier surroundings. This is another great activity to share with a friend. Sharing the experience of painting creates a deeper bond between children.
