In an ice cube tray freeze some small toys ( for smaller children use small
plastic containers to freeze larger toys in so that the toys are not small enough to choke on.) Put your frozen toys in the sensory table filled
with warm water, they children will love to feel the difference between warm
and cold and try to discover why they cannot pick up the frozen toys. You can even freeze some plain ice cubes with food coloring in it. The color
will trail off of the melting ice cube.
