It may be summer, but in our Happy Home we are pretty chilly.
(No, Happy Hubby-if-you-are-reading-this, we did not accidentally turn the air conditioning down to 65 and leave it there all day long again.)
We decided to put our freezer to work and make a few icebergs for some bath time fun.
And not just any icebergs – these icebergs had toys trapped in them!
Here’s what we did…
Let me introduce you to the Happy Buddy’s best bath buds.
Guys 1, 2, 3, and 4.
I am not even kidding – those are their names. When he loses one he shouts, “4! 4!” or, “2! 2!”
I put Guys 1, 2, 3, and 4 in four separate plastic cups and filled them halfway with water.
Since these guys float, I froze them halfway in the water and then poured more water on top and froze again.
This way the guys were stuck in the center of the iceberg.
Then the treasure-filled icebergs were added to the Happy Buddy’s tub time!
He was a little uncertain about the fact that his favorite toys were trapped in what appeared to be a solid mass of freezing-ness – 
This is the Happy Buddy’s nervous face.
This is him trying to climb out of the tub to get away from them. 🙂
But then when the ice melted a bit and he realized that his Guys were coming back to life –
He LOVED it!
Free at last!
When everything had melted away, the Happy Buddy asked me about 100 times if we could put them in ice again.
Stay tuned for more Ice-tastic ideas coming tomorrow!
Happy Iceberg in the Tub-ing! 🙂
Ahh! This is such a cute idea!!! I have lots of little plastic dinos I could do this with : )
What a great idea. Thanks for all you fun summer tips!
We do this same thing, but I use sour cream-sized containers. Our girls slide them up and down the sidewalk, playing pseudo-shuffleboard or curling with them until they melt. They are ages 7 and 9 and this is still good for at least an hour of fun!!
I love this! We did a different version of this with herbs from the garden and made a herbal bath with ‘icebergs’ : ) You should come and link up with Fun for kids Friday linky party. It will be posted tomorrow on my blog.
LOL! Love the picture of him trying to get out of the tub to “escape” from them 🙂
So cute! We are going to have to try this for sure!
GrammaSheila says “YAAAAAY!”
Such a great idea!
Great idea!
Awesome idea! Thanks!!!

That is so fun! I love the idea of kids playing “archaeologist” and having to discover lost toys. I wouldn’t have thought about freezing it halfway first. =)
