Instructions

1. After discussing the color purple, ask the children if they would like to eat
something purple.
2. Pour three packages of unflavored gelatin into 1 1/2 cups of hot water.
3. Stir in the grape juice.
4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9" x 13" pan and put it into the refrigerator
to chill.
5. When the mixture is firm, remove it from the refrigerator and cut into strips.
More to do
Outdoors: Go on a "purple walk." Go outside (or walk around the room) and
encourage the children to find things that are purple.
Science: You could use this activity as a little science lesson. Talk about other
things that start out as a liquid but can turn into a solid, such as water into ice.
