Cool down the kids this summer with some lego ice play<\/p>\n
There are only a few weeks left until the end of term. So it\u2019s time to start planning what we are going to do through our 9 weeks of school Summer holidays.<\/p>\n
To help get started on our list and to help you with your\u00a0own, we have teamed up with some super cool bloggers, to share a big list of summer activity ideas.<\/p>\n
Playing with ice is an ideal way to cool the kids down on a\u00a0hot day. Last summer we had great fun with our Giant Discovery Ice Cube<\/a> filled\u00a0with dinosaurs and hidden treasure. This year we decided to recreate this\u00a0activity, but using Lego inside the giant ice cube instead of dinosaurs.<\/p>\n Fill a plastic container \u00bc full with water.<\/p>\n Add in a selection of Lego figures and bricks.<\/p>\n Place this into the freezer overnight.<\/p>\n Remove from the freezer and add in some more Lego and fill almost to the top with water.<\/p>\n Carefully transfer this back into the freezer and leave it\u00a0overnight.<\/p>\n When you are ready to play, remove it from the freezer and\u00a0place the container into a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. This will help\u00a0to loosen the cube just enough to get it out of the container in one piece.<\/p>\n You might also like our “Making Summer Memories”<\/a> article which is full of ideas for siblings to enjoy doing together.<\/em><\/p>\n Then let you little ones get busy! We started out by squirting some salty water over our ice cube.<\/p>\n You might also like to read our round up of Brilliant Beach Activities for Kids<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n We then used mini tools (from a Christmas cracker) along with a plastic hammer to chip away at the ice to help release the mini figures.<\/p>\n We also used a glue scrapper to help leaver out some of the men as well.<\/p>\n This activity kept my son busy for a good 40 minutes (the bigger the cube the longer they will stay amused!). We will definitely be planning some ice cube fun over our long school summer holidays.<\/p>\n Now it’s time to check out some more awesome summer activity ideas:<\/strong><\/p>\n Cool down the kids this summer with some lego ice play There are only a few weeks left until the end of term.
