Ice Castles

Instructions:

Day 1:

1. Gather your materials: Ice trays and/or other plastic containers that can be frozen that you consider adequate for your castle, sequins (learning kit), glitter and any other object you think is perfect for an ice castle!

2. Fill the ice trays and/or other containers with your choice of decorations

3. Fill the ice trays and/or other containers with water and stick in freezer

Day 2:

1. Get ice out of the freezer and take out of the trays and/or containers (you may need to put some water on it to help the cubes out!).

2. Activate your creativity and start building your ice castle.

3. Feel free to add any other props from your house to make the castle exactly how you imagine it!
