Ice LEGO
Saving a LEGO mini-fig or two from a sheet of ice provides an opportunity for both science exploration and imaginary play. We love how Dayna of Lemon Lime Adventures set the stage for an archeological adventure, but you can create any storyline. To find out what kind of container works best for freezing, or what type of materials the kids can use to melt the ice, head over to Lemon Lime Adventures. For more awesome ways to learn with LEGO, check out Dayna’s contributions to Learn and Play with Bricks.
