Been awhile...

So where were we?

Oh yes, Sunday.

Sunday morning the boys and I broke out the Moldrite 25 and the LEGOs to make a LEGO Ice Cube tray. Here are some pictures to show what we did and how things worked.

Picture 1 finds the boys building the mold for the tray:


Picture 2 is Marc adding more blocks:

Picture 3 is Noah watching Marc adding more blocks:

Next Marc is adding the Moldrite to the mold:

Followed by Noah adding the Moldrite:

Here is the completed project for Sunday. The mold has been prepared, so we then had to wait until Monday to try it out.


Here is the completed mold with its first batch of ice cubes.






The cool(ha!) thing about this ice cub tray is that we made it ourselves and the boys had a ton of fun making it! They love the fact that they can have little ice cubes with the words LEGO on them. We made the walls three LEGOs deep and the mold 2 LEGOs deep so there would be enough ice to make drinks cool.

The bad thing is you can't build with them!
