Not a Quiz

I was going to set a quiz, and ask what this was:

But then I decided that was too hard. To explain what it is needs a bit of background. A few weeks ago, the boys discovered how to make ice cubes. This was exciting for a while, they would freeze some ice cubes. Then they would leave them on the floor, sofa, TV, and that would be exciting. As is often the way, as time progressed, they moved on. First, they froze other vessels full of water bowls, cups, lego bricks, anything else they could think of. Then (and I don't understand this) they started to rip up paper and put that in the ice.

Next, they started to put other things in the ice - this was to help them to hold the ice, when it was frozen. They started with cocktail sticks, and when they ran out, they moved on from there.

So this is a block of ice, frozen in a cup, with some paper at the bottom, and a pair of scissors in it.
