Ice castles = a super-easy project for kids and so much fun! Fill containers of different sizes with water. Add food coloring to the water and freeze overnight.
Assemble in the morning!
We had been watching the forecast, waiting for a really hot summer day to do this project together. We all made guesses to see how long the ice castles would stand before melting into colorful puddles. No one (not even Mom & Dad) came close to guessing the right amount of time! We also had a contest afterwards to judge whose HANDS were the most colorful after building the castles! ***Parental disclaimer – be sure the kiddos are wearing ‘play clothes’ as food coloring can stain*** 🙂
This was quickly labelled a new summertime favorite! 
Our oldest also suggested we try it in the winter to decorate outside…so they got busy to work, discussing and making plans so they’ll be prepared when the snowy season begins…in about 5 months 😉
