Halloween SQUIRMY JELLY WORMS

Ingredients
2 packs (3 oz) Raspberry jello
1 pkg unflavored gelatin (for extra firmness)
3/4 cup whipping cream
3 cups boiling water
15 drops green food coloring
100 flexible straws (or enough to fill your container)
Tall container (1 quart or 1 liter carton of milk)

Directions

Combine gelatin in bowl and add boiling water.

Let it cool to lukewarm and then add the whipping cream and 15 drops green food coloring.

Gather your straws (don't forget to flex them out) and put them in the container. It's important that the straws have a tight fit so the jello stays in the straws. For this reason, a 1 liter carton may be better; you will probably get longer worms since there is a tighter fit. If you have a bigger container, a rubber band around the straws is helpful. Or you could just add more straws to fill the container.

Add the gelatin mixture to the straw-filled container and let it set until firm.

There are multiple ways you can remove the worms from the straws. You can roll a rolling pin over the straws and squeeze them out or you can hold the straws over warm water. The worms will slip right out.

craft corner ~ HALLOWEEN

Halloween is not far away. Start crafting and be ready for a frightening good time this Halloween. These recycled monsters are great for holding all your halloween candy.

Materials:

• 2 liter plastic drink bottles(washed and dried)
• magic marker
• acrylic paints
• construction paper
• exacto knife
• imagination

Directions:

1. Beforehand, decide what kind of monster you want to make and what colors you need. Sketch a face on paper first.
2. Draw the face on the bottle with a marker.
3. Cut out the mouth with an exacto knife.  Cut off the top of the bottle, too to fill with candy. I don't recommend making pointy teeth as they are sharp and can prick a finger.
4. Paint your bottle and make the eyes.
5. Add hair or hands with construction paper.
6. Fill with candy for your Halloween party or put a light inside and watch them glow.
