Activities
Melting Ice- we'll experiment to see what the best way to melt ice is

Ice Cube Trick- do you think we will be able to pick up an ice cube with a string?

Cracks in the Ice- using ice, salt and food coloring, we'll see how cracks form in ice as it melts

Frozen Bubbles- it's so cold out, even bubbles freeze!

Shaving Cream Snow- playing with shaving cream is always a tactile treat

Fun in the Snow- Not Just Cute shared this great list of things for preschoolers to do in the snow

Snow in the House- when it's too cold to play out in the snow, bring the snow in!
