All you need to do is make them a day ahead, freeze them overnight and they’re ready in the morning! This activity is great for creativity and imagination. Kids can play with these flowery ice cubes, building towers, bridges, roads, whatever they can think of. Or add water into play and have fun melting the ice away from the flower petals. I promise you this activity WILL give you time to wash the dishes and sweep the floor at once. No distractions.

What is my child learning and improving?

  • Sensory play (touching the cold ice, soft flower petals, melted water)
  • Fine motor skills (holding the paintbrush with fingers)
  • Cognitive skills (learning, thinking, analyzing, understanding that warm water melts ice)
  • Creativity (kids can use the ice cubes to build towers, roads, bridges, houses, whatever they can think of. Plus they stick between each other and it’s super fun to pull them apart!)

Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed rice and a few fun sensory tools 💗  Now, yes, you’ve read that right. I dyed this rice using a little bit of beet water (from boiling beets) and about a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar. Add all into a big ziploc bag, shake and spread out on a sheet pan to dry completely, I like to do this overnight. This recipe is without any dyes, which I try to avoid. Even food dyes contain “lakes” and toxic stuff.  The beet water made a lovely deep pink color, perfect for Valentine’s Day! If you try this recipe out, let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it AND TAG me so I can take a peak!  SAVE for later and TAG your friends below to share!
