Magic Gelatin
Time
- 10 to 15 minutes
Materials

Directions
- A surprise is in store when your toddler helps you with this gelatin recipe. Freeze water that has been colored and add the colored cubes to the gelatin during preparation, following package directions for using ice instead of water.
- Use red cubes to make the gelatin orange and blue cubes to make it green.
- Talk about what happens as the colors change.
Extensions
