We played the classic I spy game in the ice cubes. Kids love to play I spy game. Kids love to play with ice cubes. So I need not tell that this activity became an instant hit in our house. It is very simple to set up with everyday items available at home.
I Spy game
Materials needed to set up this simple I spy game
- Beads or any small objects
- Ice cube tray
- Paper
- Marker
Method
- As I mentioned, this activity is very easy to set up. My ice tray can make 14 ice cubes. So I made 7 *2 table in the paper . I drew lines with marker – solid lines to separate the tabs and dotted lines for my preschooler to put a mark.
- I filled the ice tray with water and put 2 beads in each space. As soon as I dropped the beads in the water, I wrote the colors in the paper at random spaces.
- I kept the ice tray in the freezer.
- Then the fun part begins. I gave the paper, marker and ice tray with beads to my preschooler. We did not remove the ice cubes from the tray. She used it with the tray.
- She read the colors in the paper and “spied” the same colored beads in the tray. After she found out, she put a tick against the column.
She loved it so much that we had to repeat. I prepared a paper similar to this and made her repeat. This game is the classic I spy game with a slight twist.
