Total Time Needed: 1 Hour
Crown yourself a royal architect and build beautiful rainbow-colored ice castles.
Materials
- Plastic containers
- Food coloring
- Natural materials
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Build away. Decorate the completed castles with sticks and mini pine boughs, if desired.
Tips:
If the ice shapes aren't sticking when you stack, add snow between to "glue" them together.
