To follow up on the children's interest in all things 'piratey', we decided to make ice pirate ships! We created different coloured boats by adding a little edicol to the water before freezing, and the children where captivated by the rainbow of colours that appeared before their eyes as their little boats melted! So much conversation was generated about 'mixing colours', hot and cold', 'solids and liquids', 'freezing and melting'... but the most tempting of questions... "What do they taste like?"
Lovely photos, Karen! A very good idea, the children clearly love the activity!
