I’m always looking for something different & fun to do with my little guy, who is 12 months (adjusted). When I spotted some summer sensory play ideas online, I KNEW we would have to try a “Jello dig.” I also knew this had the potential to be a crazy sticky mess… so I waited for the weather to be nice enough to take the fun outside where it’d be easier to hose down for cleanup!
Here’s how to prep for your own Summer Sensory Play Jello Dig!
Grab a box of gelatin mix and prepare it like normal. (I used a small box –> 3 oz, if you use a bigger box, also grab a larger dish!) Using an 8″x 8″ square Pyrex dish, pour the mixture in, place it in the refrigerator, then set an alarm for 1 hour. (the normal time for this gelatin to set -according to the box- is 4 hours)
Between 1-1.5 hours of the gelatin mixture being in the refrigerator, remove it, and add a variety of toys that are easy to clean after. Then, place the mixture back in the refrigerator for a few more hours until it is fully set.
What fun summer activities are up to?
