Make yourself an ice prince

Whether it's snowing or not, there's one thing you can always do with your children: Experiment with ice. How does it form? How does it feel? And what happens when it melts? My "Eismännli" experiment provides the answers.
You will need the following things:
Rise the ice princes
1. Fill your mould with the different natural materials. My children opted for pine cones, leaves and wilted rose petals. If you like, you can play with different colours. The ice will absorb them and change colour.
2. Boil the water and pour it into the moulds while still hot. The advantage of boiled water is that the ice becomes clear. Leave the manikins to freeze overnight. If the temperature is not right, you can put the mould in the freezer.
3. The next morning, your "ice cream men" are ready. Your child can take them out of their mould and play with them.
Marvel and explore
One thing is clear: the experiment ensures that my children's joy continues even after they get up. Even though there's still no snow!
My students, but also my own children, inspire me every day with their wild imaginations. I love to document the creative projects that come from them on my blog Fantasiewerk. I hope to inspire many moms and dads to do crafts with their children. [Fantasiewerk.ch](https://fantasiewerk.ch)
