Explore the Ice Age

A fun experiment to either watch and time how long it takes to melt under different circumstances.

Alternatively dig away with spoons and you can squeeze and splash warm water onto the ice to speed up the process.

Material

Bowl Small enough for the freezer
Small animals Think plastic knick knacks from KMart
Tray Something to rest the outcome on
Spoons Something to dig with

Method

Fill a bowl with water and add small little toys (think animals or dinosaurs)
Freeze
Flip ice out onto tray

Notes

Keep the small animals and re-do when required. We took one frozen ice age into OOSH today.

This is such a great concept! It is fun, takes a bit of patience, and isn’t messy! Win, win, win!

I love this! Think our toddler would get impatient waiting for it to melt but would-be hugely curious and fascinated!
