Frozen dinosaur bones


Max yesterday - 28F (-2C) with windchil that easily pushed that down to 18F (-7C), min overnight, about 12F (-11C). So hubby had the idea of putting some water in the dinosaur shapes that are meant to be used in kinetic sand, and leaving them out overnight.

Good points:
They definitely froze
The kids were pretty impressed

Bad points:
The pieces aren't made to sit flat, some of them had tipped out a bit
It was a school morning, so our chance of playing came between 7.24 and 7.29am, just before rushing out to freeze at the bus stop.
Hard to get the shapes out
thin shapes melted fast

But you know how things don't go to plan, but the kids love it anyway? This was one of those activities. Hopefully we'll have more fun with ice in these temperatures.
