Ice Cube paintings

This was so much fun!  There were even parents that come in after we did the activity and were very excited about their child's artwork that came home!  We froze tempra paint in ice cube trays.  Before they froze we put sticks in the paint for a handle to paint with.  After they were frozen we took them out and let the kids go wild!  We had them try to write a few letters, but they were more interested in watching the ice paint melt.  Most of the kids made large circles on their paper, that was interesting!

It works best if you allow the ice paints to thaw for about 5 minutes before you start!  This was one of my favorites!  I even sat with the kids and made a beautiful picture!
