Cool activities

What activities have you been doing to keep the children cool?

Today we've done a water tea party, wet hats, painting with water on the patio, melting ice and making shadows by squirting water from the hose while they stand in front of the fence.

Painting with frozen paint is a good one...

Dinosaurs in ice and things to hammer with and break them free. A frozen hand...glove filled with water.

Oh yes! That's a good one Jannier!

Painting on ice: shallow trays of water frozen, then kids paint on them as normal.

I also love this activity:
