4. Arrange 12 big ice cubes in a circle on the tray, and put it back in the freezer until they are frozen again.
5. Dip a second lot of ice cubes into salt (flat side down), and center each one between two base cubes like a brick wall.
6. Fill the gaps with slushie mix and freeze again.
7. Repeat to make more layers, using the smaller and smaller cubes until you have a dome shape.
8. Create a doorway with remaining ice cubes.
9. Use your hands to cover the entire igloo with slushie mix and freeze again for a 2 – 3 hours.
10. Your masterpiece is complete - get it to school quick enough and you've got a sweet show-and-tell!
