We’ve seen this beautiful ice play before at Ringwood Uniting Preschool and it was out again recently during some really hot weather.
It’s created so simply by freezing a few bowls of water over night …
upturn them into a lovely deep dish or tray …
combine with some white garden pebbles …
and add some polar bears.
Such lovely imaginative and sensory play on a warm day!

We are Sherry and Donna and together we welcome you to ‘irresistible ideas for play based learning’, a blog designed to inspire and assist Teachers who follow a Developmental Curriculum, Tertiary Students of the Early Childhood Sector and Parents of children in the Early Years.
While teaching preschool together our mantra was “Make it Irresistible”. As it is not always easy to find exciting, irresistible and appropriate play based learning ideas for children in the early years, we would like to share with you some of the ideas our students have enjoyed over the years.
We hope you gain pleasure from what we have to offer. We invite you to view our complete profile here.
