Digging for Treasures in the Ice

I've been seeing this activity on blogs for weeks, so we finally decided to try it! I put several small toys, rocks, and shells in a bowl of water and froze it. Then Elliott and O had a great time trying to get the toys out of the ice. They used a spray bottle, salt, a fork, etc. O was very determined to get the ladybug and butterflies out of the ice, and they had lots of fun!
