Arctic scene

I waited to do this sensory table until it was a cold night - sadly it wasn't quite cold enough.  I filled my sensory bin with water - then i put a heave bowl into the water - and then stuck it outside all night - hoping it would freeze.  Then I would take the bowl out and there would be a hole in the ice that I could fill with cold water.  I also froze some Tupperware with water so I could have "icebergs" floating in my lake.  

It almost worked - but the last 2 inches of water didn't freeze on the bottom.  so the ice was unstable and broke before I could get it downstairs.  The best thing about kids though is that they don't know what it "should have been"  - they just think it is great and find ways to explore and play anyways.
