An ice pack is a bag or portable plastic filled with ice. The price range of a regular ice pack runs about 6 to 9 dollars. Ice packs are availible at almost any stores like walmart and target. The reason why I choose to make the ice pack out of a diaper was because my little sister is still in diapers so it as more convient and faster to get a diaper. The reason why I didn't make the ice pack with alcohal was because we had just ran out of it.
This process was really fast, easy and simple. All you need is two zip-lock bags, a diaper and some sicciors. First I grabbed the diaper and placed it under the water to get all soaked up in the faucet. Then I cut midde of the diaper to the size I thought my hand would fit in. Then with my hand I scooped out all the particles from the inside and placed it all in the zip-lock bag. Finally it was ready to be placed in the freezer.
I thought this was a really fun experience, because its an experience I could learn from. Also because if i'm ever in need of an ice pack, and can't run to the store I can always make one on my own. I think it's very important to know how to make an ice pack, because for any reason of an emergency and can't get one at that moment, you can always make one. Ice packs can be used when you get really sick and have fever. Or when you might be at soccer practice and you maybe sprained yoour ankle. Another way ice packs are useful is by keeping your meals cold in a luch pail.
