Jello Jigglers that is :) Up until now, my children didn't even know what Jello Jigglers were. Since Jello isn't something we usually ever buy, make or even eat...I can understand why this jiggly mass of fun was so foreign to them.In the cupboard I keep a supply of unflavored gelatin packets, just in case I need them for....for....something. Well, there is definitely something to use them for now!

Save juice from a can of pineapples, peaches, pears, cherries...etc. Here I saved the juice from a can of pineapples & maraschino cherries, leftover from Saige's birthday cake.

Mix the juice together with water until you have 2 cups. If the juice is very unsweetened, you can add 1/4-1/2 cup of sugar. The cherry juice was plenty sweet, so we didn't need sugar.
Put the juice in a saucepan and pour in 2 packets of unflavored gelatin. These come in boxes of 32 packets, for around 5-6 bucks. So each packet comes out .16-.19 each.
Heat the mixture until the gelatin has dissolved. It doesn't need to boil, just look in there when it gets all steamy and see if the gelatin granules are there anymore.
Pour the liquid into an 8x8 pan. Chill for 6-8 hours.
Cut out in fun shapes and let the children rejoice!

Jell-O jigglers are a huge hit around here, too ~ even among the adults!!! I never think to make them though.
