Anyone who has wrapped ice cubes in a washcloth for little kids to hold, knows how convenient it is to have an ice bag. I used to have an ice bag, it somehow got a little hole in it, and would leak water everywhere as the ice melted. Little kids who are already wounded don’t appreciate getting wet, too. Yeah, I know from experience.
I’ve tried the “bag of frozen vegetables” ice pack. It does work, but it doesn’t stay cold very long.
I searched online and found out how to make your own ice pack. Here’s a picture of the one I made:
Homemade Ice Pack
Here’s what I used:
1 cup rubbing alcohol
2 cups water
Quart sized freezer bag
It’s really simple to put together. Just pour the alcohol and water into the freezer bag, seal, and freeze. Clearly label the bag, so no one thinks it’s available to eat. lol
Here’s a close-up of the bag:
