Icicles

So, I can't take the credit for this craft. I saw it on pinterest, and just had to do it with the kids. 

First we got our popsicle makers out from the cupboard, where they spend their winter. (make sure you have a stand or something for them, and room in the freezer, because you don't put the "lids" on them).

And then we put a few drops of food colouring in each one. You could colour mix too- but we kept it simple today. 

After that, we added some water to each one. Then took a piece of string, folded it in half and put the mid section in the water- leaving the ends out. 

Then, we put them in the freezer. 

Tomorrow morning when we get up, we will take them out. Tie the strings, and then hang them from the tree in the front yard. Then, as the weather warms up, we can watch them melt, and leave the colours on the snow in the yard!
