Melt an ice cube

OK, here is the last kid activity for this month, and in a case you didn't notice they all had some connection with water. So it was our 'WATER MONTH'. I'm sure we will redo all of them when summer comes.

So, this is an easy, but fun and educational one. It is the dice game which will help the little ones to understand what melts ice the fastest. The great thing about this activity is that you don't need anything except an ice cubes, some water, salt and dice.

You can find pdf file with instructions here. (Note: since it is winter, we used kitchen cloth instead of the shirt when dice showed 2)

It didn't take long to figure out the salt is the winner. And it was just to big temptation not to taste salted water :)

At the end, we added hot water to the list, so maybe you should do it as well.

You can even make this a real game with two or more children, and the first one to melt ice cube wins.

Try it. It's fun :)


Next month Mondays will be all about cars, so get ready little car lovers, it's going to be a fun ride.

Thanks for reading.
