Bev Bos' Knox Gelatin
 

 

Curriculum areas: Science, visual arts, sensory activities

Appropriate ages: 3 and up

Activity: This is the recipe as it was posted on Bev Bos' web site. This is one of my favorite recipes.

Ingredients: 1 box gelatin (32 packages), 18 cups water

Sprinkle gelatin on water to soften. Mix ingredients and heat until dissolved. Pour into large containers. Color can be added to mixture while still liquid, however, it is much better to allow the kids to add the color once the gelatin is firm. Try adding color with pipets (plastic eye droppers.) Push the pipets down into the gelatin to release the color. Once the hardened gelatin has been broken down into small pieces, it can be reheated and molded again in the containers.

Comments: If you don't have pipets handy, try straws or the eye droppers that come with children's tylenol.
