Instructions:

1. Prepare the Gelatine
   Follow the instructions on the gelatine packet to dissolve it in water.
   TIP: For a firmer jelly, use slightly less water than directed.

   

2. Add Your Objects
   Drop your chosen objects into the liquid gelatine. Arrange them as desired, keeping in mind that some may float to the top.
   TIP: If you want objects throughout the jelly, you can make smaller batches and pour in layers, adding objects to each layer.

3. Let it Set
   Place the container in the fridge and let the jelly set for several hours or overnight for best results.

   

4. Turn Out and Explore!
   Gently loosen the jelly from the mould. Then turn it out onto a flat surface for sensory exploration.

   TIP you can dip the outside into warm water for a few seconds if it sticks.
