Summer's just beginning, and we're looking for fun things for the kids to do. An ice block treasure hunt is a great outdoor activity that boys especially will enjoy. Just get some little toys and freeze them in a block of ice. I got a bunch of cheap toys and some foil containers at the dollar store. If your toys are lightweight and float to the top, fill the containers halfway with water and freeze. Then add another layer of water on top to seal up the treasures. When everything is frozen, give kids a hammer and some screwdrivers ("ice picks") and let them pound away. A spray bottle filled with water can help melt the ice, too.
oooh, this is a great idea! I am definitely going to try it.
