Today's activity took a little bit of preparation, but it was absolutely worth it to have these surprise ice cubes!  

What you'll need:

• yoghurt pots or other small containers
• small toys to fit inside
• water
• a freezer

I found some yoghurt pots yesterday and searched all around our toy boxes for some little toys that fit inside.  Then I filled them with water and put them in the freezer overnight.  Then today we had some lovely surprise ice cubes to play with!


It was really interesting to watch Ethan play with them, he really wasn't sure at first because the ice was so cold.  It's funny how something so simple like an ice cube is such a mystery to a toddler, he expanded his Knowledge and Understanding of the World by exploring the ice cube and watching it melt in the heat to then discover the toys inside.
