A tutorial on making ice lanterns for primary school students

The process of making ice lanterns for primary school students is as follows:

1. Clean the empty plastic bottles and dry them.

2. Add 3/4 water to the plastic bottle, then add a few drops of your favorite food coloring or colored sugar and stir well.

3. Put the plastic bottle in the refrigerator or ice bank. In the refrigerator, you need to make sure that the plastic bottles don't touch the inner wall of the refrigerator to avoid the plastic bottles from breaking.

You can prepare a lamp holder and a light bulb while waiting for freezing. Insert the bulb into the lamp holder and then connect the power supply.

5. When the water in the plastic bottle is completely frozen, take the ice cubes out of the plastic bottle. Note that the ice may be fragile at this time, so handle it with care.

6. Put the ice cubes in a safe place, on the table or on the floor. If you have a lamp holder and a light bulb, you can put ice on the lamp holder and then put the light bulb under the ice.

7. Turn on the power and enjoy your ice lantern works.

Note: In the process of making and using ice lamps, we should ensure safety. Avoid using materials that are too cold to avoid injury. Production and performance should be carried out under the supervision of adults.

The origin of making ice lanterns:

The origin of making ice lanterns can be traced back to ancient China. Ice lanterns originated in winter in the cold regions of the north. People use abundant ice resources, give full play to their intelligence, and create unique ice sculpture art.

The earliest ice lanterns were mainly used for lighting. In the cold winter, when going out for activities at night, people chisel bowls with ice, put insulation materials such as cotton wool in the middle, and then inject clean water. At night, water condenses into ice, forming a transparent ice layer for lighting. This kind of ice lamp is environmentally friendly and economical, and it has become a necessity for ancient northern residents to live at night.

With the development of ice sculpture technology, ice lanterns gradually evolved into a folk art. People began to carve various patterns on the ice lantern, giving it aesthetic value. During the Spring Festival, the Ice Lantern Festival is held in the northern region. People use exquisite ice sculpture skills to make various unique ice lanterns, forming a beautiful landscape. Ice lanterns will become a major folk activity during the Spring Festival, attracting countless tourists.

The skill of making ice lanterns is unique in all parts of China. For example, Harbin Ice Lantern Garden Party, as the birthplace of China ice lantern art, has attracted tourists from all over the world. Ice lantern artists in Harbin combine traditional skills with modern technology to create amazing ice sculptures. The world of ice and snow in Beijing and Harbin is also a model of ice lantern art, which shows the charm of China ice lantern culture.

Ice lanterns have become a highlight of winter tourism in China. While enjoying the ice lanterns, tourists can also experience the cold atmosphere and folk customs in the north. With the continuous innovation of ice lantern technology, ice lantern culture will continue to inherit and develop, bringing more beautiful memories to people.
