Outside Winter Adventure

I have to find new things to get me motivated to play outside. I miss summer...but winter can be fun to. First we went to the Dollar Store and purchased balloons. Then we filled them up with water and food coloring and set them outside to freeze. :) We had all different sizes and lots of different colors.

The next day it was time to bundle up and enjoy the sunshine and our frozen ice to make some sculptors.

Holding a pink one because pink is cool.

Trying to stack them up. Caution when you take the balloons off I had some that were not frozen all the way through so they were not round and smooth and ice can become sharp so just throw off to the side if they are not playable.

Love how the sunlight is hitting it and the snow sticking to it.

She wanted to stomp on them here.
