Are you looking for a fun and easy DIY project to do with your kids in the winter? Look no further than ice marbles! With just a few simple materials, you can create beautiful, colorful marbles that will add a touch of magic to any winter landscape.
Carefully add a few drops of food coloring into a balloon. If desired, add a pinch of glitter to each balloon for a little extra sparkle.
Stretch the top of the balloon over the spout of your faucet and slowly fill the balloon with water about 2/3 of the way full. Tie the balloon into a knot and stick into a large bowl for easy transport to outside.
Repeat these steps until you've made several balloons (try different colors of food coloring to make a rainbow of colored ice marbles).
Place the water-filled balloons into the snow and let them sit for about 24 hours to allow them to freeze completely.
Once you believe they are frozen, take scissors and carefully cut away the balloon.
Your ice marbles are now ready to be displayed or used in a winter activity.
