Colored Ice

Ms. Kris placed colored ice cubes in the sensory table. The children not only
discovered that the ice was cold, hard, slippery, and wet, but they found
that they could make designs with the colored ice cubes too. Sometimes the ice
slipped from their hands or where they placed it. They didn't mind!
They made some really neat lines

She discovered that ice can be slippery and wet.

These two boys were playing by each other, feeling the ice with their hands.

More discovery was happening here. We were talking about how the ice felt and looked.

He started to line up his ice cubes. Other children modeled his play.
