🥵 Whew... it's HOT outside!
If your family is looking for a fun way to cool off today, try an Ice Excavation Challenge! 🧊
All you need is:
❄️ Ice
🦖 Small toys or LEGO® pieces
🧂 Salt
💧 Warm water
🖌️ A paintbrush or spray bottle
Challenge your kids to rescue all the frozen treasures!
It's messy, cool (literally 😄), and sneaks in a little science while they're having fun.
Tell us...What would your child want frozen inside the ice block?
Summer STEAM Challenge!
Can your child build a boat that floats? 👀
Grab a few items from around the house and put your engineering skills to the test!
🧠 Design it.
🛠️ Build it.
🌊 Test it.
🔄 Improve it.
Try using:
Cardboard, Plastic bottles, Aluminum trays, Popsicle sticks, Tape
🏆 Bonus Challenge:
How many passengers (coins, rocks, or small toys) can your boat carry before it sinks?
The best part? There’s no single right answer—just creativity, problem-solving, and lots of fun!
📸 We'd LOVE to see your creations! Share a photo in the comments and tell us how many passengers your boat carried.
