You can use an old egg carton to hold the molds up if necessary. Pour the gelatin mixture slowly into each cup, and then add your raisins (one each).Lightly grease your molds (Easter egg cups or egg tray) with some cooking oil.Add a few drops of food coloring and the pack of gelatin, stir it in until it completely dissolves. Heat the water up in a pan and heat until it boils. It's best to make the jelly eyeballs the night before, so that they are all set come play time.An egg tray or bottom halves of plastic easter egg cups.Food coloring (I found red and green to be the spookier colors).Did I mention it is super gooey and slimy? While most of my activities include experiments that are focused at older age groups, I though this would be a stimulating activity for the little kiddies (I have a two year old and I know how they are always on the move, looking for things to do)! It's fun, safe, completely edible and can potential keep young minds busy for a good amount of time, while igniting the senses and exploring something new.

P I’ll also be answering any and all of your Halloween baking and treat making questions.Wow, is it just me or has this month simply flown by! Just a few more days until Halloween is upon us and soon it will all be over! There's still some time to squeeze in some fun Halloween educational activities though and now more than ever, kids around the world are starting to get all hyped up and ready for the spooky night. Including my super fancy eyeball smooshing technique. Wanna make these together? Join me live on my Facebook page on Friday, October 16th at 10am and that’s exactly what we’ll do! I’ll be demo’ing the whole project, start to finish. Use a small icing spatula to smooth down the icing over the edges of the eyeball. Smoosh a chocolate eyeball onto a freshly iced cupcake and allow the frosting to billow up over the sides. Run your fingers around the sides of the eyeball to smooth over any rough edges. Make sure all of the layers of chocolate are completely set before popping the chocolate eyeball out of the spoon. Set aside to dry completely before moving on to the next step.įill in the rest of the spoon with white candy melts and, again, set aside to dry. Pipe colored candy melts around the black dot, filling in the lines of the larger circle. Pipe black candy melts over the tiny white dot, filling in the small circle. It’s such a tiny detail, but it’s what gives the eyeball realism. This will be the little glint in your chocolate eye. Flip the spoon over and pipe a tiny white dot within the small circle, but a little off center. Pour melted white candy melts into a parchment paper cone (or piping bag or squirt bottle – whatever you’re most comfortable with). Draw a larger circle around that circle to create the iris.
