Making jelly can be a fun and delicious activity for children! Here’s how to mix jelly step by step:

What You'll Need:

• 1 packet of jelly powder (choose your favorite flavor)
• 2 cups of boiling water
• 2 cups of cold water
• Measuring cups
• A mixing bowl
• A spoon for stirring
• An adult for supervision

Steps to Mix Jelly:

1. Wash Your Hands: Before you start, make sure to wash your hands with soap and water to keep everything clean.
2. Boil Water: Ask an adult to help you boil 2 cups of water. This water needs to be very hot!
3. Mix the Jelly Powder: Once the water is boiling, carefully pour it into a mixing bowl. Then, add the jelly powder to the hot water.
4. Stir Until Dissolved: Use a spoon to stir the mixture. Keep stirring until all the jelly powder is completely dissolved. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add Cold Water: After the powder has dissolved, measure and add 2 cups of cold water into the bowl. Stir the mixture again.
6. Pour into Molds: Now it's time to pour the jelly mixture into molds or cups. Be careful not to spill!
7. Refrigerate: Place the molds in the refrigerator and let the jelly set. This usually takes at least four hours, so be patient!
8. Enjoy! Once the jelly is firm, it's ready to eat! You can enjoy it straight from the mold or with a scoop of whipped cream.
