Slush Icies!!!

This one is EASY PEASY.

Take one old can of lemonade mix that's gotten hard and think: What can I do with this????

Add water. Allow some of the hardened mix to dissolve.  :)

(Now for those of you who don't have things like hardened pink lemonade mix in the cupboard, a quart of juice will do.  If I use orange juice, I add a little less water, like a can less to the frozen can, and that gives your slush less of a "watery" taste. But regular juice is fine, too!

I used my big ol' retro yellow Pyrex bowl and half-filled it with juice... then put it in the freezer. I stirred it up twice, about every thirty minutes or so, until is was "slushy"....

And then!!!!! Oh, THEN!!!!:

I let the little ones pick their fruit. We had cantelope, too.... It got zero votes. And apples got zero votes, so we went with frozen berries and green seedless grapes.

We put a name on each "cup" and they had to find their own name....

And then we put a scoop of "slush" into the cup, gave them a spoon, and let them stir their fruit into their "slush".

And then back in the freezer for just a few minutes to "meld".....

And this is what I had when all was said and done!

Such a fun, happy, easy bit of science for my little friends!  And they loved their Fruity-slush-icies! Even though it was January!

Nothing like havin' me some fun with the babies in my life!
