The mixture is a clear colour, but my boys decided they would like it to be green, so we added green food colouring to it. Hmmm, made for nice viewing!!
You’ll need:
boiling water
glass (or clear cup)
gelatin
corn syrup (I used glucose syrup)
teaspoon
fork
**food colouring is optional
Fill half the cup with boiling water.
Add 3 tsp of gelatin and let it soften before stirring with a fork.
Add 1/4 cup of corn syrup.
Stir the mixture again with the fork and look at the long strands to gunk that have formed.
Add the food colouring if using.
As the mixture cools slowly add more water, small amounts at a time.
The boys loved lifting the fork out of the water and letting the gunk drip down back into the cup.
