In the last two weeks we've had at least 5 over 100 degree days and the rest have been upper 90s. In other words it is H.O.T!! I found this activity on pinterest last year and have been waiting until it was super hot to do it.
It's really easy.
Take a container and fill it with water.
Throw some small toys, money, etc in the water and let it freeze.
Gather excavating tools. We used play hammers, spoons, a spray bottle of water and salt.
Sit out on the hot concrete and go to it.
Micah had a much more delicate approach then Connor. He really liked using the salt and water bottle and watching the ice melt. After about two minutes Connor picked his up and kept dropping it until it broke open.
Cons: This didn't last nearly as long as I thought. 15 minutes tops. Also even playing with ice is too hot to do outside when it's 105!!
