I've seen this project in a few books, and have been waiting for the weather to finally get cold enough to have this work. Well, it got really cold for about three days. I figured it would be a great time to do this, then wham - we got hit with 40-50 degree weather again. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the nice days, but I'll have to share a photo of the finished project with all of you on a freezing day. Right now our little ice wreath is sitting nicely frozen in our freezer.
What you need:
A circular pan or dish
Items from nature that have already fallen to the ground
Colorful fruit bits (optional - just for added color)
Twine
Freezing temp's or a freezer
1) Take a walk with your children and have them collect pieces of nature that they like.
2) Place items in the pan or dish and add water.
3) Add a long piece of twine, folded in the half, with the fold in the water. This is for tying purposes after the wreath has frozen.
4) Place in the freezer or outside. Once frozen, hang your wreath outside where your children will be able to see it from indoors. **You will need to let it melt a bit to remove it from the pan**
Hopefully it will get colder over here so I can hang our wreath and share it on the blog.
Have a great weekend everyone!
