On a cold winter day try this fun nature craft. Gather up some natural objects and freeze them in a pie pan. Take the frozen ornament outside and hang it on a tree branch, then watch the ornament sparkle in the sun!

- Aluminum pie pan
- Heavy string or shoelace
- Water
Instructions
- Have your child arrange the natural objects in the pie pan.
- Fold the string in half and lay it in the pan so the fold is over the edge and the two ends are in the centre of the pan.
- Fill the pan with water. If the weather is cold enough, place the pan outside to freeze.
- If not, place it in your freezer.
- When the water is frozen, remove the ice from the pan and hang it outside.
