Ice Sensory Play
For this craft we included various textured objects to include in an ice sensory play experience. You can use the red cup to freeze your objects if you would like, or find other sized containers to use. All you will need is water, food coloring (not required, but a fun addition), utensils to dig with, and a freezer!
Place your objects how you wish in the container you are freezing them in. Then add water (and food coloring, if using) and freeze. When they are frozen, take the ice outside and play! You can dig out objects, watch them melt, speed things up with warm water, etc. The whole point is to experiment and explore.
Cloud Squishy
You will need white paper, cotton, clear tape, a scissor and markers.
First, fold your white paper in half. Draw a cloud design on one half and cut it out so you have two.
Next, make a face for your cloud with the markers. Do this on the top cloud you cut out. Then you will tape over the first cloud with the clear tape so that there is tape hanging over all the edges. Cut the tape closer to the cloud so that your tape makes an outline of the paper cloud. It doesn’t have to be much, just enough tape all the way around, in your cloud shape, to fold over the cloud after the next step. You will then cut little slits in the tape all the way around. The trick is to make them close together and cut all the way to the paper edge. (This will make little strips of tape and help you fold them over the paper edge of the cloud, connecting the front and back of the cloud together.)
Here is how the little strips will look before being folded over.
Line up the duplicate cutout of the cloud with the first so that you can fold each small strip of tape over. Be sure to leave the top open though, for now, so we can add the cotton and fill the cloud. Make sure your remaining tape stays out of the way of the cotton as you stuff the cloud. Otherwise, it will not stick. So it is best to fill the cloud with small bits of cotton at a time. Once you have carefully stuffed the cloud, finish folding the last strips of tape over to seal it up. Enjoy your squishy!!!
