Materials:
2 large boxes blue Jello
2 large boxes yellow jello
2 large cake pans or plastic tubs
Spatula or butter knife
Cups, scoops, spoons
Directions: Make the two blue boxes of Jello according to the package directions and pour into large cake pan. Refrigerate at least 4 hours until firm. Make the two yellow boxes of Jello according to package directions, pour into pan, and refrigerate until firm. Use the spatula or a knife to cut the Jello lengthwise and crosswise into 1-inch squares. Use the spatula to scrape the squares into a large tub. The kitchen sink works well, too. Provide cups, scoops and spoons for your child to explore the jiggly texture! Encourage your child to dig into the Jello with his hands. What does it feel like? What does it smell like? He can even have a taste if he wants.
When he’s finished exploring the Jello you can save it in a large bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator for play another day!
