"Stained Glass" Gelatin Disks
This pretty disks are fun and easy to make, and you can cover some chemistry terms while you are making them.
Make a solution of a lot of gelatin powder and only a little water...
in a plastic lid.
It makes a very thick mixture.
When the powder is dissolved... 
add a few drops of food coloring of the colors of your choice and gently turn the lid so that the coloring swirls slowly in the solution.
Let them sit for about a week until they are thoroughly dried. Slowly peel them off the lid, taking care not to tear them.
Now you can tape them to a window and see the beautiful stained glass-type look to them.Pretty, aren't they?
So this is how they do those gel clings! This is really an interesting chemistry lesson!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, but I guess I left out a bit of information. These are not like the gel clings...these are hard like very thin glass or plastic. They are very fragile.
DeleteI should do some with Princess who loves gel clings, and has some plastered to her window that I think will only come off with a jackhammer.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Can't wait to try it with the girls:)
