Using ice during playtime is a great way to stay cool during the summer. This project allows kids to be ice excavators to remove fun toys from balls or chunks of ice. It's a two-step process to freeze the item and then remove it from the ice, which means extra time being entertained!

Supplies:

• Glass baking dish
• Assorted bowls or balloons
• Water
• Assorted waterproof toys
• Excavation tools like a spray bottle, fork, turkey baster or dish scrubber, salt, water gun

Directions:

• Fill the dish or balloon with toys.
• Add water over the toys or fill up balloon and tie off. 
• Place in freezer overnight or until frozen. 
• Once the ice is frozen, remove it from container.
• Place the ice blocks outside on a cookie sheet or pan and let children free the toys up using different utensils.
