While the crayons glide across the paper, this is the perfect moment for a little story. Did you know streams don't always freeze completely? Often only a layer of ice forms on the surface while the water keeps flowing underneath. Icicles form when melting ice or snow keeps dripping and freezes again instantly in the cold air.
