Puttin the Fun in Friday!

Color the J-e-l-l-o

Jon’s brother Matt CHALLENGED me to do a puttin the fun in Friday with Jello. Challenge accepted.IMG_1635So I used Knox gelatine it was not sticky and there was no color. I followed the directions on the back for jigglers, but instead of fruit juice I used water for everything. I think that you can also use any kind of jello, just add a little less water so that it will be more solid. IMG_1637 My Dad has a bunch of eye droppers and bottles of colored water for some reason, so we used those. If you can’t find an eye dropper you could just use a syringe from a kid’s medicine.

You then just squeeze the colored water into the jello mound. You can mix the colors inside by putting different colors in the same hole. IMG_1643My kids had so much fun doing this. I would suggest making different sizes or shapes to mix it up a bit. Also I would hide one in the fridge so that when they destroy the first one you have another clean one to bring out. Henry is already telling me he wants to do this tomorrow.
