Fun Day with Cousins

My cousin Tina came over with her 2 boys, Blake and Josh.  The kids had a blast playing in the little pool and sprinkler.  I had an activity waiting to do with the kiddos and this was the perfect opportunity.  I saw this on pinterest or a blog... I wish I could remember but I can't.  It's out in blogland somewhere... anywho... I took a 13x9 dish and filled it with water and put in all sorts of their plastic animal toys, dinosaurs, dolphins, sharks, penguins, etc. I froze the pan over night.   The kids loved it!  We showed them if you put it in the water it helps melt it some, they chiseled at it with shovels.  In this great sunshine state this was only about a 15 minute activity.

 Here they are putting it in the water again to help melt it.

Chiseling..

They're getting it!

YAY!
