While winter still lasts – why not try making ice sculptures (this also works when it’s not snow – you make the ice in the freezer)<\/p>\n

Do like this:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Fill deep plastic plates and bowls of different sizes with water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Put the containers in the freezer. (For clearer ice, use boiled water that has cooled.)<\/li>\n
    2. Remove the ice cubes with hot water and place them on a high-edged surface or baking sheet, preferably out in the sun.<\/li>\n
    3. Sprinkle a little salt over the ice. Wait a minute and you’ll see how the salt makes cracks on the ice surface.<\/li>\n
    4. Pour a little more salt in different places so that cavities and tunnels form on the ice. This will require some time and patience.<\/li>\n
    5. Drip liquid watercolor mixed with water over the ice and into the formed cracks to create a nice color effect (if you do this outdoors in cold weather, use warm water).<\/li>\n
    6. Let the kids photograph ice artwork one and arrange an exhibition!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
