Mummy had some fake squiggly snow solution and made a big bucket of that to pour into it, the night before she froze a big dish with water and pearls and also one with glitter so there were shiny icebergs! Along with icecubes and cotton wool balls we then went on a hunt around the house to find animals that live in and around the snow ... a polar bear, a penguin, a man wrapped up warm and M1 choose a goose! (well its white!).
They were then set loose on it and it kept them amused for ages! Squishing, exploring etc... we discussed what happens when ice melts and how it melts. B1 understood this more when the main iceberg started to melt and the pearls started to loosen... We talked about whether the ice & snow is hot or cold and where they thought it came from....
Great fun was had by all, so after a wash down with a hosepipe - munchkins and all! we tidied it all away. The only issue which arose then was M1 deciding to stand on a bumble bee in which the bumble bee won! Silly child but he learnt to be kind to animals next time!
Mummy is now busy thinking of what we can do next time with our tuff spot .... ice cream play, dinosaurs, autumn fun, buried treasure, chocolate soil ....
