Ice Cube Painting

For our I project, we "painted" with ice cubes. All you need is a box or pan, paper, ice cubes, and a colored powder. The original directions we found called for powdered tempera paint (which I didn't have and didn't want to buy), but you can also subsitute Kool-Aid or Jell-O. We used red Kool-Aid. Simply put the paper in a cardbord box or pan (we used a 13x9" cake pan), sprinkle some powder on the paper, and place an ice cube in the pan. While the ice melts, rotate or swirl the box to create a pattern on the paper.

This was easy and fun. We will probably do it again for a fun, low-mess summer activity.
