And that's why I was very excited when I stumbled across a DIY ice pack hack on social media. (It's the little things, folks!) All you need is a kitchen sponge, some water and a zip-top bag. I was instantly sold—and my monthly Amazon bill is about to go down as a result. Here's what you need to know to try this trick at your house.
TikTok is packed with these sponge ice packs. Some people (like @kristine.drop) cut them into small pieces, get them wet and freeze them, like the ones here.

Others simply take a regular full-size kitchen sponge, get it wet, freeze it and use it the next day. Like this version shared by the @moms account.

What Makes the Kitchen Sponge Hack So Great?
There are so many reasons to love the kitchen sponge hack. For starters, it’s cheap. Ice packs can run you about $9 for a set, while a set of kitchen sponges costs a fraction of that.
A big complaint with my kids is that ice packs are too cold or too hard, but a sponge is soft—even when it’s frozen and thanks to its air pockets, it's not as cold as a standard ice pack. As it thaws, the sponge-pack also conforms to the shape of what it’s touching, making it more comfortable for my kiddos.

How to Turn Your Kitchen Sponges Into Ice Packs
If you prefer to use smaller pieces, cut up your sponge with scissors, wet the pieces, and freeze them in a baggie. You can either redistribute those pieces in another baggie when you’re ready to use them, or pull out the whole thing.
