Ice Cube Color Mixing
Preschool - 1st Grade
This activity is appropriate for: preschool - 1st grade / 3 - 6 years Using colored ice cubes and lemonade, have your students mix different colors and watch the result! Make blue ice cubes using food coloring. Give each child a cup of yellow lemonade. Ask the class to predict what color the yellow and blue will create when mixed. Have the students put the blue ice cubes into the lemonade and watch as the colors mix and turn green. Take children outside and give them 2 different colored ice cubes (you choose the colors, depending on available food coloring). The children will watch as the ice cubes melt and mix into a different color. Have students draw a picture of what happened and, if they are able, write a few sentences.

Ice Cream…in a Bag!
Preschool - 3rd Grade
This activity is appropriate for: preschool - 3rd grade / 3 - 8 years Students of all ages love this cool activity—making their own ice cream! You will need the following ingredients: 1 tablespoon sugar ½ cup milk or half & half ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract 6 tablespoons rock salt (the bigger the granules, the better) Ice cubes Pint-size zip-close food storage bag Gallon-size zip-close bag Combine the sugar, milk and vanilla extract in the pint-size bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible, and then seal it tightly. Next, place the ice and rock salt in the gallon-size bag, and then place the smaller, sealed bag inside as well. Seal the larger bag, again squeezing out as much air as you can. Wrap the bags inside a towel to protect your hands from the cold. Shake the bags until the mixture hardens (about 5 minutes). Feel the small bag to check whether it’s done. When it’s done, remove the smaller bag, and then add in extra treats like crushed cookies, chopped fruit, etc. (Makes about 1 cup.)
