Crown yourself a royal architect and build beautiful rainbow-colored ice castles.
Tips
If the ice shapes aren't sticking when you stack, add snow
between to "glue" them together.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Plastic containers
Food coloring Natural materials | |
| Seasons: Winter | |
| Materials: dyes, nature objects | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Fill containers (pails, gelatin molds, plastic storage containers, cups) with water. Then add food coloring (about 20 drops of color per cup of water) and freeze outside overnight. |
| 2. | Before building, bring the ice to room temperature. When you see a bit of water on top or when the ice turns in its container, that means the ice is ready to slip out. |
| 3. | Build away. Decorate the completed castles with sticks and mini pine boughs, if desired. |
