15 Icy Cold Learning Activities for Kids

This week’s Share It Saturday features are all about ice! Ice play is one of our fall-back activities, both at home and at preschool. It’s a wonderful material for sensory play, pretend play, small worlds, and science. Plus, it’s just fun and engaging for the kiddos. Adding different materials (like toys, glitter, or baking soda) can make it even more interesting! Below are 15 learning activities for kids that are all focused on ice.
