Hello!
Sooooooo....... this can be done from ages 6months to 360 months.
When I first did this , my son was 6 months old.
What I did : made two boxes of jello(follow instructions on box) . Put the jello into a pan or bowl big enough for their hands to dig through...When jello was still in liquid form , I put “bulky” toys into the jello(mostly teethers).. I put jello into the refrigerator until it was “jello form” .... done !
With older children , you can put a variety of smaller objects into the jello and make this activity into a search and find. Draw on a piece of paper pictures of what is hidden in the jello and have them find the hidden objects . You could add child friendly tweezers , if they want to use tweezers to pick up the items .
This activity promotes—— fine motor skills , problem solving skills , getting used to new textures,and if you’re doing this with older children ... it encourages them to follow directions.
*** If you don’t want your child to put jello into their mouth,than don’t do this. When my son did this,only small amounts ended up in his mouth and he was fine, if your child has not yet ate baby food I would not recommend doing this ****
