Colored Ice Boats

 

We set sail in the backyard using water, sticks, and kool-aid.
 
I saw the cool ice boats on Reading Confetti and decided to make them with color. Momma’s Fun World showed us that we can use kool-aid instead of food coloring, for most activities, because it’s cheaper. 
We just put water and kool-aid into a shallow bowl and secured the stick in the middle with a pipe cleaner. We froze it overnight then popped it out of the bowl when it was time to cruise.
We used big fat leaves for the sails on our little boats…

 

…and paper for the big battleship.
We’ll definitely have to do this again in cooler temps because it was so hot this day that our boats quickly melted.
Yep, the next logical step when the sun sinks your battleship :/
