In honor of the freezing rain and snow we are getting on this glorious Spring day, I thought I would share what we did the other day. You know, two days ago when it was warm and Springish.
I started this first thing in the morning. I dug through our toys and found all of the plastic dinosaurs we had, plus some seashells and assorted animals. I also gathered three plastic containers (My niece was coming over for the afternoon). I filled each container 1/4 of the way full and dropped a couple of critters in. Then I popped them in the freezer. I suppose you could just fill the whole thing, but I wanted them to be in layers. A few hours later I added more water and 2 or 3 more animals. I did this 3 times until it was full.

I ran a little warm water over each one and TA-DA!, big ice cubes filled with all kinds of fun surprises.

| We poured warm water over the ice to hurry along the excavation. |

Only one spoon was harmed in this project. :)
After all the ice was melted, they built homes out of tree bark, grass, and rocks for their little animal collection. |
