Ice Cube Surprises

This frosty frozen fruit treat is a refreshing snack — and a super science experiment!

Because the surprise contents of this treat can pose a choking hazard, this recipe is best served to children ages 4 and up.

What you need:

  • 12 or more seedless grapes
  • fruit juice or other beverage

What to do:

  1. Wash the grapes.

  2. Place one grape in each ice cube tray compartment.

  3. Fill tray with water.

  4. Put in freezer until solid.

  5. Add an ice cube or two to a favorite drink.

  6. As the ice cube melts, the grape "surprise" will be revealed.

More cube fun: On a really hot day, make a necklace of ice cubes! Fill a tray with water. Have your child place a section of string or yarn in the ice cube tray (from one end to the other) before freezing. When the cubes are solid, tie up the two ends of string to create a refreshing ice cube "jeweled" necklace. (This is best worn outside or in the pool!)
