For Halloween I made up these Jello-Bean eyeballs for Devanie's Pumpkin Carving party. I got the recipe from the Food Network but they called for round bottomed ice cube trays, which I have none of. So, we used our Jello-Bean molds and they turned out pretty great. And. . . they tasted really good too. How'd we do it? Just make up some Jello Jigglers, drop a frozen blueberry in each mold (ice cube tray or whatever), pour jello over the blueberries and refrigerate for a few minutes. Because the blueberries are frozen, they act like ice cubes and set the jello really quickly. Oh. . . and don't forget to spray your molds with PAM.
The stick guns were created first by the boys and enhanced later by me. It amazes me how in just a few minutes they can run into the woods and come right back out with a stick that looks exactly like a gun. I could see the same stick laying on the ground and think nothing of it. But not the boys. They immediately see a gun and start shooting at invisible monsters and "bad guys." Of course, they always have to bring them home and one day I thought, "Those would make great rubberband guns." So with some clothespins, a few rubberbands and some hot glue I managed to transform their guns into pretty good rubberband guns. There's really no point in explaining how I did it--with the pictures it's self-explanatory.
