❄️ Animal Rescue in the Ice! 🐾🧊

When the temps drop, the fun heats up! We turned frozen water into an exciting sensory and movement experience by freezing small animals inside muffin pans, Tupperware, and ice cube trays.
The next day, the kids became rescue heroes: chiseling, hammering, throwing, and breaking the ice to save the animals! 🐻‍❄️🦭🐧

🩵This activity is packed with proprioceptive input, hand strength, problem-solving, and regulation + it’s a huge favorite every winter.

🔹Easy to prep🔹Big movement🔹Endless fun🔹

✨ Tip: Let kids help fill and carry the containers for extra heavy work before freezing!
