Sweethearts You Can Make With a Toddler

On the educational blog I co-author with my sister-in-law, I have started posting recipes that you can make with your toddler. I do this because I have recently come to the realization that cooking is a very educational and interactive activity for kids. Plus, if they are anything like mine, they love to do it.

Tonight we tried a recipe that I came across in the February issue of The Friend magazine that I've been wanting to try for a long time.

The Friend named them Sweethearts, probably for Valentines day, and made them red and heart shaped, but you could probably use about any color of Jell-O you wanted and use any shape of cookie cutter.

Ours didn't turn out as neatly, I don't know if we didn't let them set long enough, or what, but we had a hard time getting them out of the pan in one piece. We tried some star shaped ones, but after a few of those didn't work, we just cut the rest into squares. They were pretty tasty though.
