Make Colorful Ice Balloons


Want to wow your kids with a fun project that creates pretty snow decor? Make these vibrant (and easy!) ice balloons from The Queen Says.

Best for kids aged: 4 and up

What You'll Need: balloons; food coloring; water; scissors

Directions: Fill balloons with a drop of food coloring and water; tie shut and either pop in the freezer or leave outside overnight, if it's cold enough, to freeze. When they're frozen solid, use scissors to cut the latex balloon off of the frozen orb. Voila! Instant colorful ice sculptures.
