Celebrate summer with a cool sensory activity! Popsicle Painting is a fun and versatile project that the family can do together. Use them as paint brushes, or as finger paints.

For planning, you’ll need to freeze for 24 hours.

Supplies:

• Ice Trays – We used flexible trays that are larger than the traditional version, but use what you have at home.
• 1 Tub Whipped Topping – You can also find homemade options if you’d like to make your own.
• Food Color
• Popsicle Sticks
• Paper
• Small Bowls (optional)

How To:

• Separate whipped topping into small bowls. (Based on the number of colors you have).
• Add food color to the bowl and mix. If you’d like to use one color, mix into the container. We used 5 colors and filled the 6th cube with a mix of the leftover colors.
• Add mixuture to ice cube tray.
• Add the popsicle stick to each.
• Freeze (we let freeze for 24 hours).
• Take cubes out by using a knife to separate mixture from the sides.
• Take out and start painting!

Yield: 6 large ice cubs or 12 traditional size cubes
