Think it’s too hot to craft? Think again! To build your own ice castle, you will need empty milk cartons, some paper, a couple of rubber bands, and some ice pops. Fill the milk cartons with water (and food coloring, if desired) and freeze the night before. Keeping the ice pops in their wrappers, roll them up and secure with a rubber band as shown. This way you can wash them off and place back in the freezer to eat later.
Mark helped Emily free all of the ice blocks from the milk cartons.
Build your ice castle!! Then…..
….. play!!!
Be sure to save an ice pop for a special treat!
Yummmm!
Yummmm!

C-U-T-E idea. I think you must spend as much time planning your crafts as any teacher. Once again you get the motherhood prize.

So cute! My daughter is also a big fan of My Little Pony – they looked cute in the ice castle.

That's really cool! Nope, I won't be doing that one either. LOL… you know me, but I get to come here and enjoy everything that you do.
I told my teenager about the garden stones and we really want to do them. I'll have to let you know when we do.

That is such a great idea! My kids would love this!

That is way too cute! I think I need to save this idea to do in a week or so once we've collected the milk cartons…..

We have to do this! Of course the ice won't last long down here so we'll need to build fast!
