Summer Bucket List Ideas
This game requires a little bit of advanced set-up.
Youll want to have three boats for each person.
We used the same color of food coloring for each person.
Place the molds on a cookie sheet or large plate.
Summer Activities for Preschoolers
Cover the top of each mold with aluminum foil.
This will become the boats masts.
Wait for the ice to harden.
The next day, cut triangles of paper from cardstock.
Glue the paper sails to the boats.
Put the ice boats back in the freezer.
Make trenches from aluminum foil.
We first folded long sheets of foil in thirds to hide the dangerous edges.
Place the boats on the top of the slides.
When you say go use the water hose to push the ice boats down the trench.
Time how long it takes for the boats to reach the bottom.
Repeat for each set of boats you have.
Find the average times, then the person whos boats were consistently the fastest is the winner!
