Ice Cube Painting


Its about 100 degrees today with high humidity. Too hot :P  I thought it would be a perfect day to do some ice cube painting. I originally saw this on Pinterest, the original post was from here. I froze a few drops of food coloring in ice cube trays overnight. The original post uses watercolors, which is probably a better idea, because our hands are dyed multiple colors now. Anyway it was fun and a great activity for a hot day.



The colors mixed together created a really interesting and pretty tie dye look. Now I am trying to come up with a idea to make with the pretty painted paper :)
