Summer days are fun, but they can be long if the kids are bored! Keeping them busy with fun activities outside is a sure way to have happy kids and happy parents 🙂 This summer, I’ve already kept the kids busy with an Ice Dig, twice already. It’s a fun activity that gets them to dig into ice to find treasures, toys, and plastic animals. You can also bring it out for a play date or birthday party!
Keeping the Kids Busy with and Ice Dig!
Here’s What You Need:
- Bucket (I got mine at the Dollar Store)
- Water
- Food colouring
- Plastic toys/animals (the ones you have or bought at the Dollar Store)
Here’s What You Do:
- Fill the bucket halfway with water, add a few drops of blue food colouring and give it a good stir.
- Drop in a few dinos, animals and other plastic toys. Let that freeze for the day. You want to do it in stages, otherwise all the toys will sink to the bottom of the bucket and your dig won’t last long!
- Fill up the rest of the bucket with water and add more toys.
- Let it freeze overnight and VOILA… a great afternoon of digging!

Oh my, this looks like so much fun (and would definitely keep the kids busy for a WHILE haha).
That sounds like a fun idea for slightly older kids! I`ll need to keep it in mind as my toddler gets older. 🙂
