Sensory Bath Time Fun: Colored & Scented Ice Cubes

Adam found these awesome silicone ice cube trays at a yard sale that are perfect cubes, so I mixed up some water, food coloring and candy oils. During her bath tonight we tossed a couple different colored ones in and got to watch them melt and color the water. I explained that the ice was "cold" and we talked about the colors and watched them melt and change the bath water different colors. This was a fun "messy" activity as the water turned orange in the end, but it all rinsed right down the drain.
