Summer Cooler

When the temperature rises this summer, your child can keep his cool with an ice pack in his favorite shade--of color, that is.

Materials
• quart-size, freezer-safe ziplock bag
• corn syrup
• food coloring

Step 1:
Fill a quart-size freezer-safe ziplock bag with corn syrup and mix in food coloring until the desired shade is reached. Carefully squeeze out any air, then close the bag and seal it inside a second ziplock bag.

Step 2:
Store your homemade ice pack in the freezer. There it will remain pliable, ready to ward off the summer heat, add a cool twist to a game of hot potato--or soothe a skinned knee.
