KIDS AQUARIUM CUPS

Steps:

• ADD boiling water to gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough ice cubes to cold water to measure 1-1/4 cups. Add to gelatin; stir until slightly thickened. Remove any unmelted ice. If gelatin is still thin, refrigerate until slightly thickened.
• PLACE berries in 4 clear plastic cups; cover with gelatin. Press fruit snacks into gelatin until completely submerged.
• REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until firm.

NIF'S EDIBLE AQUARIUM

Steps:

• Prepare 3 packages of Jell-O gelatin in a large bowl as directed. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until Jell-O is partially set, but still a little "liquidy".
• Clean a NEW 1/2 gallon glass fish bowl, preferably the kind that is flat on the front and back.
• Add grapes and blueberries to bottom of fish bowl, spread evenly.
• Layer gelatin and gummy fish. You can poke gummies down with a spoon or your fingers to look as though they are randomly swimming in the water.
• Refrigerate 1/2 hour until better set.
• Display fish bowl with flashlight propped behind it to better see the display of fish.
• When ready to serve, you can use a washed NEW fish net to scoop the fish and fruit out, along with the Jell-O. Some kids might think this step is "gross", so make sure that your kids are OK with it.
