Iceberg Fun

Nancy Johnston's Iceberg Play area has been a hit this week at the Scottish Rite Clinic.  She froze a couple of bowls of water colored with blue or green food dye each night and then set these Icebergs up in the water table. They lasted all day and entertained many children. With a few polar bears and penguins, the setting was complete.  One week, the children spent time squeezing various colors of water (food dye again) into the icebergs with a nasal syringe and making holes in the icebergs. Filling, pouring, squeezing--these activities are very engaging and adding food color to anything is riveting. This week, the kids have been knocking the animals off the icebergs by sliding balls down a piece of rain gutter.
