Always verify materials—such as plants, food items, or chemicals—for safety and allergies before use, and keep heat sources, tools, and small parts under close adult watch.

Add food dye to water or use fruit juice to fill popsicle molds together. Place in freezer and once fully frozen, take them back out and allow the child to create art on their white paper.
Learning Across Ages
Toddler & Preschool: This is one of my favorite activities to do with young learners. It’s typically so hard to do painting with kids licking their fingers. This is such a great edible sensory painting experience to discuss what they are experiencing in terms of temperature words, colors, and science words like melting and freezing.
Elementary: This age will enjoy the science of the experiment and learn concepts like reversible changes and states of matter. They will also find it exciting to have anticipate a treat and will enjoy writing activities with their popsicles like spelling words or math if wanted.
