Ice exploration

In continuation with the children's current interest in water play the Phoenix House children had the opportunity to explore the element of ice!
The teachers set up a number of ice sculptures with toy animals, colours and objects frozen inside. The children loved exploring the texture and used dye drippers, salt, and spray bottles of warm water to free the objects and toy animals that were frozen inside. This attracted a lot of attention from the children and they enjoyed taking turns melting the ice with the resources provided :)
