I was going through my idea files and came across a fun summer sensory play idea for Tate: colored ice cubes on a string.
I made colored ice cubes (one drop of food coloring per cube with some left clear) with a thick piece of yarn running through them.

Once they were frozen, Tate had an ice cube train to play with in the pool.
Since the pool water is as warm as a bath, the ice cubes melted quickly but Tate had fun pulling them around with the string and watching the colors swirl in the pool water.
So simple but it brought lots of fun sensory play for an almost-one-year-old.
I love the one strap hanging down! They are so sweet at that age.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea.

She's engrossed.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of stringing the cubes together! I'll have to remember that. :)
ReplyDeletewe do lots of ice play in the summer time. I love this idea of stringing them together as a train! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! It will soon be summer here in Australia and I'm totally going to use this. I'm featuring you on Tot Tuesdays today! :)
ReplyDeletewhat a fun idea! I will have to make these tonight for my son! :)

ReplyDeleteBrilliant! We do colored ice cubes all the time for the bath but I never thought of stringing them. My little guy would love that. Thanks!
