Use plain Knox Gelatine and mix 3/4 cup of boiling water per package. So if you’re doing the entire box of four, get 3 cups of water nice and boiling and then stir in the packages to dissolve. Add one at a time and stir to dissolve. Pour the mixture into a container (muffin tins, empty Cool Whip or yogurt containers, bowls, etc.), or better yet, several containers. It’s always helpful to have several gel molds made up so that you can replace them as they become used up in the bin. Chill the molds in the fridge overnight. To loosen, you may need to run around the edges with a butter knife. (Oiling the containers or using a cooking spray beforehand also helps with an easier release.) Place the molds, containers of colored water and pipettes or small eye droppers in a small bin. The children fill the droppers, insert them into the gel, and squeeze to release the color in a newly created crevasse. The color mixing and overall effect is just awesome and intriguing, even for grown ups.
