Brrr! Freezing


Winter Ice Art

The temperature has defiantly dropped and the cold snap has finally reached Hackney Marsh Adventure Playground. This gave us an idea and children were invited to experiment with water and ice. 

Each child was given a disposable cake tin and they were asked to fill it with things they found within the playground. Some children picked natural things like leaves, berries and twigs while other children cut paper flowers, glitter and buttons. 
Once their tins were finished the children filled them with water, sealed with foil and placed them in the freezer over night.


Some children even added food colouring to their ice art blocks.  The next day we had lots of wonderful ice blocks but very cold hands!
