Letter of the Week – Letter J – Jello
Okay I’m back to bring you the Letter J! Â Did you enjoy my Mom’s posts? Â I hope so! Â It really helped me out… Â and gave you guys some great reading at the same time. Â Thanks Mom!
That’s right J is for Jello… slimy, jiggly, gooey JELLO!
I used two containers and 4 large boxes of Jello.  It took about 24 hours for the Jello to set because of the size of the container, I think. (Although Hubs thinks I did something wrong in the mixing… I refuse to admit it 😉 )  While the Jello was setting I added as many J things as I could get my hands on.
We dumped both containers of Jello into our empty water table.
M and M dug in to the gooey Jello.
For “J” items I used Jewels, Jacks, Jack o Lanterns, magnetic letter J and contact paper covered pictures of Cousin J and myself (Jill).
This activity is messy… very messy! Â The great thing about Jello is that it totally dissolves in water. Â So even though Jello went flying (quite literally) it disappeared when it was hit with a hose.
For those who don’t love a mess… this might be a good one to do in the tub.  Then you could just turn on the water and all the sticky mess would go right down the drain.  I AM NOT A PLUMMER!!! Please test the dissolving theory yourself before dumping 4 boxes of Jello in the tub. 🙂
For a fun J art project try Jellybean Stain Js.
I can’t think of a better way to learn all about the letter J.
I have come over from the Kid Blogger Network and have just signed up to receive your posts via email so I do not miss any.
YEAH! So glad to have you.
Wow !!! I loved this messy activity, I think this way they learn more than coloring or just writing it.
Thanks and I hope I can receive more fun activities in my mail.
