Jell-O - What you can do with it

Style your hair. A teaspoon of Jell-O dissolved in a cup of warm water makes an inexpensive setting lotion. Or use prepared Jell-O as you would any hair gel product.

Make marshmallows. Gelatin is the main ingredient in any cookbook for marshmallows.

Make Wine Jell-O. The Joy of Cooking suggests boiling one cup water, mixing with gelatin powder in a bowl until dissolved, then adding one cup red wine. Stir well, then refrigerate for four hours or until mixture gels. Serves four.

Watch seedlings grow roots. For a great science experiment for children, grow seeds in Jell-O and observe the root structures.
