Gummy Lolly Recipe!

The gummy 'tools' were so popular at Messy Church that we ran out of time for everyone to make them! A number of parents asked for the recipe so here it is for you to try at home yourselves:

 YOU WILL NEED:

• 1 x packet jelly crystals (any flavour but we used lime and raspberry at Messy Church)
• 5 tablespoons gelatine
• 1/2 cup of water
• splash of flavouring (we used lime and raspberry cordial)
• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• cooking spray oil
• paper towel
• plastic chocolate or silicon ice molds (this mixture makes enough to fill 2 molds) 

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Mix jelly crystals and gelatine together in a saucepan with wooden spoon.
• Add water and cordial to the saucepan then stir.
• Leave mixture to rest for about 5 minutes. It should look a bit like playdough.
• Warm mixture over a LOW heat until it melts. Stir to remove any lumps.
• Give your molds a LIGHT spray with cooking oil and wipe out excess with paper towel. (The oil will help you remove the lollies later)
• Spoon the mixture into the molds. 
• Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to harden.
• Remove from molds and eat. Yum!!

P.S. Photos from Sunday's Messy Church will be online very soon! (+ the recipe/templates for the gingerbread houses so you can try at home)

Oink! Let's get messy on May 22nd!

Not long now until Messy Church launches on Sunday May 22nd!

We will be having a 'piggy theme' to celebrate our first event! There will be heaps of art and craft activities available including fingerpainting, jewelry making, collage, clay, painting, puppet making and much more!

In the Messy Church Kitchen there will be cupcake decorating and cooking fun. There will also be some great games and messy challenges for those feeling a bit more active, and quieter activity stations for those kids wanting to chill and relax!

We will be learning about a story in the Bible of a son who runs away his family and ends up living with a bunch of pigs (and eating their sloppy food - eeeww gross!)

PARENTS/CARERS: you can R.S.V.P. for the May 22nd event by following this link! It would be great to know if you and your family are coming for catering purposes.
