Encourage your youngsters' creativity with ice painting. Provide them with water-based paints and paintbrushes, and watch as they transform their ice cubes into colorful masterpieces. For added sparkle, offer metallic or glittery paints that will shimmer and shine when applied to their icy canvases.
