How to Make Art with Ice Cubes

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Pam on behalf of Expert Village and today I'm going to show you different art projects for kids. Here's another fun activity that you can kind of incorporate something educational into also. You can talk about liquids and solids. Now you have an ice cube that's obviously a solid. Put it onto your paper and it's going to melt into a liquid. As it melts, you let it run across the paper and it's going to get the paper wet. Now, you can draw on it with the ice cube like this or you can just hold the ice cube and let it run across the paper but you want to encourage the kids, you know, you can make it fun. Have them try to, or, you can do this, you can get your hands wet and then put your hands on the paper and make a hand print. Encourage them to try to slide the ice cube around in a certain shape. That would be fun for them to try. It also be fun if you'd take a white piece of paper and add some food coloring into your ice cubes before you take them out of the freezer, then they can have different colors going across their paper. Like I said, you can make it educational talking about the liquid to the solid but it's also fun."
