6: Enjoy a Fun and Festive Beverage

After the ice cubes have fully frozen, remove the trays from the freezer. Encourage the kids to pop out the ice cubes and add them to a glass of water, sparkling water, or lemonade and watch as the colors and flavors blend together, making their drink into a work of art.
