Ice Cube Scavenger Hunt


I froze ice cubes dyed with food coloring in our freezer. Yes...we have star shaped ice cube trays. I hid them all over the yard like an Easter egg hunt. I tried not to make it too hard since the stars could easily get buried and then lost. We worked on math skills with this one. My five year old had to count how many he had to find by counting the empty spaces in the ice cube tray. As he found some we subtracted them from our "total to find" and put them back in the tray. My five year old loved this one!
