After yesterday's post, it probably would have been safe to assume that we wouldn't be doing any more cold activities for quite a while. However, I had one more planned and I wasn't about to give it up so we have one more cold activity to share with you... playing with ice in bags! A few months ago, we put some ice in our trusty sensory bin, added spoons to stir and scoop with, and went to work. This time, we decided to contain the melty mess a little more by putting our ice in baggies. We used the rest of the colored ice we had made for our pudding activity along with some normal ice for a total of 3 baggies. I wanted to work on some counting so we varied the number of ice cubes we put in each bag as you can see here. Once the ice was in the baggies we were ready to play! I just gave the baggies to Izzy and let him go to work moving the ice cubes around in the baggies while I talked to him about the different colors of the ice cubes and counted the 3 baggies, 4 blue cubes, 5 green cubes, and 6 white cubes. All was well until about 5 minutes in when, just like with the cool whip and pudding, Izzy started getting cold and decided he was done. But while he was still having fun, this is what his exploration looked like. Cost: Free

AuthorHi! My name is Cassity and I am the mom to a little 2 year old boy named Izzy and a baby girl named Sydney. I am lucky enough to get to be a stay-at-home mom to them and we have fun thinking of new activities to do together in the afternoons. We created this blog as an opportunity to share those activities with you. Archives
