Dinosaur Iceberg

Max hates taking a bath and has been REALLY into dinosaurs lately!  I froze several snack sized bags with plastic dinosaurs in them and made dinosaur icebergs to entice him into the bath tonight.  We also talked about what happens to ice when it gets hot and becomes water, why the ice cracked when we put it in the hot water, if things really were frozen in ice over time and what we can learn from the things scientists find in ice.  Fun little science lesson and a clean and happy little boy!

What you will need:

  • ziptop baggies
  • water
  • food coloring (optional)
  • plastic toys that are safe to freeze and have in water for extended periods of time (we used dinosaurs, but use whatever your child is interested in the most)

Have fun!
