Materials

  • Water
  • Tray or sensory bin
  • Grass clippings

Instructions

Step 1: Collect Flowers

Gather small flowers from a garden or yard. Petals, tiny blossoms, and delicate stems work especially well. Varied colors and shapes create interesting designs.

Step 2: Arrange the Flowers

Place one or two flowers inside each mold or cup. Press the blooms gently toward the bottom so the petals remain visible.

Step 3: Add Water

Fill each mold with water until the flowers are fully submerged.

Step 4: Freeze

Place molds in the freezer for several hours or overnight. Once frozen solid, remove the ice blocks from the molds.
