Ice Eggs

Today I filled two balloons up with water and added a few blueberries for Monnie to discover inside. 


I froze the balloon balls for a few hours (as a bit of an experiment so they would be hard on outside but soft in middle, like an egg). Monnie then played with the balloon balls and was able to pop them, giving her a surprise of ice cold water and blueberries inside to reveal the egg. She quickly scooped up each blueberry to eat and then played with the ice egg until we turned the game into water play adding more water and toys. I'm going to try this again and let the balls freeze overnight for a slower melt but the element of surprise made it fun today!
