Who Said Jello Was Just For Eating?

Laneah has been pulling the boxes of jello out of the pantry for a long time now. She had never had jello before but was adamant that we make it. So a couple of nights ago I made jello with her. After it was firm, I thought it would be fun to make shapes with it using cookie cutters and then we could eat it, or at least Laneah could, I'm not to crazy about jello. But Laneah decided it would be more fun to just pulverize the jello and make a mess of it. And since jello is cheep and easy to make, I was more than happy to let her go to town. She had fun with it for a good 30 minutes. The funny thing was she wouldn't even taste it until the very end she stuck her head in the pan and licked it, but that was it. So no more jello for us unless it is for play time:)
