ALL ABOARD: WE’RE GATHERING STEAM

Snow, snow, snow. Let’s turn this snow into something fun and make ice marbles! These are not only fun to make, but also a pretty lawn decoration.

You’ll need the following:

• Balloons
• Food colouring
• Water
• A freezer
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Place a few droplets of food colouring into your balloon
2. Fill balloon with water and tie the end
3. Place outside (if cold enough), or in the freezer for 24 hours
4. Use scissors to cut the end off the balloon and peel away
5. Place outside for pretty lawn décor

Ice marbles are a simple activity for children but create an interesting display for your yard. Children can make them into a pattern or build a mini structure out of them too.
