Science activities

Does anyone have any cute Christmas science activies?? Or may be even winter related sciece activities. The kids are ages 2-5

A block of ice, eyedroppers, colored water (actually several colors), a handful of salt, and a water table (or at least a really big dishpan).
Sprinkle the salt on the ice (listen to the sound-pretty cool)
Let the children squeeze drops of colored water onto the ice.
Very interesting color mixing, as the water runs into the cracks.

No cold hands, great fine motor development, good language enhancement, minimal clean-up. A winner all the way around.

Good luck!
