Cool craft: Ice cube paintings

Categories: Fun & Activities

I like crafts. Crafts are fun. They help kids learn, help them be creative and can help with the humdrum of an average day when there seems as if there's nothing to do.

But...when it comes to doing crafts with a toddler, I feel as if I am at a loss most of the time. I found a cool craft that seems appropriate for the younger (and older) kids in a family.

All you'll need is a box, a piece of paper, some powdered tempera paint and an ice cube. Put them together and make an ice cube painting.

Put the paper in a the box and sprinkle some of the powdered paint on it. (This type of paint is good to keep on hand-- you can use it to turn ANYTHING into paint!) Drop an ice cube in the box and have the child to swirl it around to make the painting.

Or, if you don't have the powdered paint, you can use Jell-O or Kool Aid powdered mix.
