Colorful Potion Drink!

Looking for a super fun and easy activity to do with your little ones?!  
Here is one we've been having fun with in our household...

Our "colorful potion drink".  
Nick and I tried this idea on New Year's Eve with the girls because we wanted a "special" drink for them to celebrate with.
It was a hit!

I had originally seen the idea on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago, and thought it would be perfect for the girls to drink that night.

So what is it?
Well first of all it is a complete sugar fest!  However that only adds to the fun of it.  ;]
All you need is a clear glass, kool aid, and sprite!
Since clear sippy cups are not that common, Nick went searching at Wal Mart and found these super fun ones for the girls to use for less than $2 a piece. 
Prepare the kool aid per the package directions and freeze in an ice cube tray.
Once frozen pour Sprite into a clear glass, add your kool aid cubes, and watch the magic begin.

Your kids will love watching the different colors and tastes it yields as the ice cubes melt.
For ours we used Grape and Fruit Punch.  It was delish.

There is another AWESOME reason why I love this little treat.  It is perfect for exploring colors with young children.  Have them guess what color they think it will make when mixed , and watch them learn in front of their very eyes as it melts.  :]

Thank you mrshappyhomemaker.com for originally sharing the idea.
