Take the ice chunks out of their containers and give each child spoonfuls of winter salt to put over the ice. Let the children use eyedroppers to dribble food coloring over the salt. The salt will eat its way through the ice and the food coloring will make a design down into the ice. Working together co-operatively the children can build an ice sculpture before adding the coloring. Its great fun.
Children can leave it and come back to see the changes that happen.
