Ice Sculptures in the Land of the Midnight Sun

After researching Swedish ice sculptures, Lisa created several for Wee Friends. Adding plastic jewels, airplanes and blue paint to water, she froze them over night and brought them in this morning for friends to explore. She also froze multi-colored ice cubes!

Many observations were made by Wee Friends: Why does it melt? Can we eat it? My hands are freezing! It’s an iceberg! Where did it go? Can I keep it? To continue our exploration, we filled a bin up with ice cubes. We spoke at length about how water takes different forms in different temperatures. We challenged friends to hold onto an ice +cube for as long as they could to see what happened!

We are getting ready for the next stage of our sunflowers: popping the seeds out!

Wee Sprouts: carrots. Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and pear slices. Lunch: Ham rolls with cream cheese, mandarin oranges and peas.

Have a great day.
