Playing with ice is such a wonderful sensory activity and when the weather is cool, you can play outside and the ice will last a bit longer. This igloo is really fun to make and you you can use it as part of a small world scene.

Making ice art is a really lovely winter activity for children and it’s such a great way to spruce up any bare winter trees in your garden. This activity can easily be adapted for both younger and older children.

Painting on ice is a really fun and sensory activity to do but, for younger children, it’s also great for exploring colour mixing and talking about the freezing and melting point of water.
