Our winter has been so mild, I wasn't sure if we were ever going to be able to create (and enjoy) an ice wreath. I had seen the idea all over the internet, as well as in "The Rhythm of Family" by Amanda Blake Soule. And I just happened to have some seasonal pine-cones and greenery still decorating our house here and there...(ahem). Lucky for us, the colder weather moved in and decided to stay awhile! So we set to work before it changed its mind.
I first froze a small layer of water in the bottom of a bundt pan. Our next steps were donning a crown (highly recommended), then adding our decorations.
Sidenote: For older kids I think it would be fun to keep an observation notebook where they could record the outside temperature throughout the day and the status of the wreath- same, slowly melting, quickly melting, etc. Wouldn't that be a fun classroom project?
