Adorable handmade child’s ice pack (Silver Glen Rd & Stevens Rd)
My kid’s former teacher made this years ago for the whole class. It’s well loved, but in great condition. I always stored it in the freezer, and it was always pliable, never rock hard. The felt snowman face around the actual ice pack is a nice soft buffer that kept it from being too cold on skin, too.
