Do you think the vinyl (latex free) gloves will work?

This is a fun and memorable activity Jackie! I think I’ll have to do this while our weather is so stinkin’ hot and we can watch it melt 😀

They look very spooky with the fun colours and the odd missing finger!

Thank you for the lovely words about the blog, Jackie. LOVE the salt PLUS icy hands. The same thing happened to our “troll hand” fingers. The children collected the fingers in a bucket. The idea was kind of gruesome, but the colorful collection was pretty.

Latex gloves are great. For a baby sensory activity we filled gloves with jelly to squeeze and squash and then suspended some from ceiling too. Other gloves were filled with ice and water. The babies had fun batting them and squeezing etc.

In reply to lisa foster. Yes, just run it under a little bit of cold water, and gently slide it off. I should add that to the post! Thanks, Lisa.

I am assuming you cut the glove off before you poured the salt? Never did a salt and ice before

In reply to Jenn. We did the same thing, Jenn, right down to the pieces of drinking straws. We called ours "Haunted Hallowe'en Hands".

I love ice and salt activities. I did this very same one at Halloween with the kiddos in my day home. We added googly eyes, spiders, bugs, and pieces of drinking straws to the gloves before they froze. We called them Monster Hands – this was the big activity during our Halloween party. 🙂

oooh, I think mine would love that, they love anything cold and wet on a cold, wet day. I will have to look the science up so I can pretend to be a clever mummy.
