After the not-so-sucessful jelly printing project of last week I found myself with a tray of unused unflavored gelatin. As it turns out, gelatin is just about the perfect outdoor play food. It was so fun to cut, stab with a fork, and mix together in a bowl. The girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves for almost an hour with it.
AND clean-up was a breeze. Because it was unflavored and uncolored, it didn't make a mess; the girls' clothing was spotless afterward, and of course, the gelatin breaks down quickly in the rain; so we just left the spills on the ground. Love it!
Works for me Wednesday!

I would love playing it that myself.
I like all the utensils you had available. Good imaginative play.
What a great idea! We'll have to give it a try this summer =)
Gelatin is so fun! We had a jello excavating experience a while back and Henry could have dug in that jello all afternoon! :)
Thanks so sharing on It's Playtime! I'm gonna share this with my FB crowd too!
