Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 1 day 10 minutes

Materials

  • Water
  • Balloons
  • Food coloring
  • Glitter optional

Instructions
 

  • Start by stretching out your balloons.
  • 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.
