I was so excited I almost made more ice than we could use! I don’t have that many ice cube trays, so I used Glad and Rubbermaid containers of varying sizes. Then we stacked the ice blocks on top of one another to make sculptures. I used liquid water colors to dye the water. They were all so beautiful! The kids are enjoying watching the sculptures as they change in the warm sun. Thanks so much for this wonderful idea!

When inside, my DS enjoys using tongs to transfer them from the sink to a container.

I’m so impressed! Not only to make so much ice, but to brave the cold to do this! Gorgeous photos ~ looks so fun! {Except for the cold!} 😉

I had someone just say today that they tried it in warm weather, Colleen. Sure it would work, but like you say, it would just melt more quickly.

Hi Chantale. Once their completely frozen, you can dump them into a plastic bag or a big bowl, and immediately put them back in the freezer. They’ll stay separated as long as they don’t get a chance to melt at all. If that happens, they get wet, and stick to each other, so just work quickly, and bag them up, pop them back in the freezer, and start again. It always takes me several days to stockpile mine too, but you can use small cups and bowls too. Yogurt pots etc. Just run them under hot water for a split second, and your ice form will pop right out.

Wonderful keep it ! ..Just wondering though, the cubes didn’t freeze all together? or i need to keep small bunches to avoid this? i can just see it becoming a giant sculpture in my freezer before the kids get at it. ( i have 3 trays so it might take a bit of time to stock pile)

I detest the cold as well, Michelle, but our winter months are so long here that there’s just no avoiding it. At least doing something fun and colourful like this helps to make it more bearable. Come on, Springtime!!

Well, I got a little carried away with my ice making, Gina. You never really know how much you’re going to need. lol There’s so much more than what you see in the photos of the post! There were 2 more plastic bags and another plastic bucket full of cubes in my freezers. We’ll be doing this a few more times before winter is over!

It’s been a really wacky winter here too, Jessica. Not too many days that have been well below freezing and perfect for something like this. I’m glad we got a chance to get at it last week. It was really neat.

I love the photos. Water is a very clever touch, wish I’d thought of that. The ice cubes are a good idea too, i went for bigger lumps but i think yours looks prettier. My ice post goes up on thursday (for kids coop)
