As you have seen in the previous blog, some children often times do not like to eat. From my experience at childcare facilities, I have learned that children will eat things that they have helped to make. In this blog, I have included a recipe that children can have for a small snack, and it does not require an oven so it is very safe. The recipe is just a simple jello recipe. A jello cooking project helps children to identify colors and use two of their five senses, seeing and tasting. Parents should make sure they purchase a variety of flavors. A jello receipe also allows children to be creative by mixing colors and making shapes using cookie cutters. From previous experience with this cooking activity, moons, stars, and hearts turn out really good. Some other shapes you can tell the shape, but edges are cut off.
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups of Boiling Water (Parents boil water in advance and only allow children to deal with the cold water)
- 2 Cups of Cold Water
Steps
1. Add the boiling water to gelatin mix; stir 2 mins. until completely dissolved.
2. Allow the child to stir in the cold water.
3. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
