Yesterday I was writing about signs of spring. Today, the predicted cold night has led to a frosty world and I am writing about ice mobiles. I originally got the idea from the Nature Detectives web site. When I did it with my class we froze the mobiles outside overnight. It was very exciting coming into school in the morning to find that it had worked!

Will the ice have frozen hard enough to hang the mobile up?

Phew, it worked! Doesn’t it look beautiful?
I made mine in the freezer and have been waiting for some cold weather so that I can hang them up.

I wonder how long they will last?
I suppose I should have hung them in different places in the garden and tried to predict which would last longest as that would have been a good opportunity to make predictions and to observe over time.
Instead I hung them both in the apple tree. How are you enjoying this frosty weather?
Hey! Beautiful idea 🙂
