It all starts with some empty yogurt containers, water and various food coloring. I didn't really like the type of colored we had on hand for this project, which was the gel food coloring. It doesn't completely dissolve like a liquid coloring. But, the colors were vibrant in the end and so very cheerful!
Take outside to freeze. I wasn't willing to give up my freezer space for all of these so chanced some different frozen shapes to emerge. To my surprise, it they were all frozen solid and took on the shape of each container :)
Dip in warm water to free the shape....
Start to build!
Us a small dribble of water (your glue) to adhere to each block, it quickly freezes...um...if it's -14 like it was the day we did this
Everyone, myself included ,was thrilled with how beautiful our ice blocks turned out!

Loved this project! So much fun and the end result stayed frozen a long time!
:) I've been posting activities just about as long as you have...it's a matter of greater minds thinking alike, needed to branch off the topics I'm covering in my articles, which I sent in over a month ago:)
