The Mom I Want to Be

It looks like ice, but it feels like gelatin. Either way, this recipe provides a tactile experience your youngsters are sure to enjoy. Mix 32 envelopes of unflavored gelatin (four envelopes are in a box) with 22 cups of hot water. Stir until dissolved; then pour the mixture into small plastic containers and chill. Once the mixture has jelled, pop the gelatin forms out

of the containers and give one to each child. Youngsters can use pipe cleaners, bowls, and spoons to freely explore. What fun!
