Glitter hair gel...

I got a wild hair this morning, as I sometimes do. I was reading one of my magazines, and found this fun idea to make hair gel. I am off to try it out, and will let you know what I think.


And this is the result. The kids were not sure what to think about it at first.
Some warmed up to the idea and some did not.
It made a big mess. I wanted to do it outside, but didn't want
to wait for the weather to cooperate.
Next time I think I will invite more kids, and make a party
of it OUTSIDE!!!!!


Glitter hair Gel

1 cup water
2 T unflavored Gelatin
4 T Glitter

Soften gelatin in 1/4 cup water for five minutes. Boil remaining water then add to gelatin mixture. Stir in glitter and let set in refrigerator. When almost set, stir again to disperse glitter.
I was supposed to teach preschool on Tuesday, but my kids had coughs and one of the other kids did too. He didn't want to come, and the other child had somewhere else they had to go. I had already prepared it, so I did it with my kids.
First, we used magazines pics to make spring collages, then we went on a nature walk. Then we made the girls' names out of sticks and hot glued them together.
Thursday, for preschool, we painted flower puzzles. Then used them to practice patterns. We also danced like butterflies, and made paper hats for spring.
If you need instructions on any of these projects, leave a comment and would be happy to oblige.
