We did an 'Ice Activity' last weekend. I used two animals, one lion and one hippopotamus and freeze them overnight in a container. The next day, I took it out and let the kids play around with it. It was a good way to teach my lil princess that ice is cold and also to teach her about animals. I remember reading about this activity for kid in one of the homeschooling website.
What I like about this activity is because it can make both my kids sit down for few minutes (until the ice melts). At least for 20 minutes, I can do some house chores without worrying where was my lil princess is (where she will be either climbing on the sofa or sometimes on the table. At first, I thought I only have one hyper-active son, now as days goes by, I think I have two hyper-active kids at home!
From the photo you can see how engrossed both of them were until they refuse to look up when I want to snap a photo!
I will definately freeze more animals the next round ^__^
Oh..what a brilliant idea..haha.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I think Chloe will enjoy playing with this too, esp now that the weather is hot. Let me go freeze some toys and give her a surprise :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mummy Gwen. Good to keep the kids busy.
