Ice Painting

It's so exciting that the weather where we live is warming up. 
On days like this I start thinking about all the things we can do outdoors.



Possum enjoys using finger paint, however, I thought I'd try freezing coloured water blocks and allow her to paint with those. 



This is a great activity because it teaches Possum two main things. Sensory awareness, because the ice will feel quite cold and cause and effect as she makes marks on the page. 





Possum thoroughly enjoyed this activity. She was interested in the face that the ice felt cold but was also keen to use them to make marks on the paper. 

This is a great outdoor activity. Obviously you need to be a little careful and ensure they don't swallow  the ice blocks so close supervision is required.
