How to Make Stickers & Recycle Kids Art, Too!

Step 1: Mix 1 package of unflavored gelatin into 4 T of boiling water. Mix until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Step 2: Stir in 1 tsp of coconut oil. This step is for taste and may be omitted. Another alternative is light corn syrup.

Step 3: Use a paintbrush to paint the gelatin mixture on the back of your recycled artwork. Let dry.

Parent Tip: Turns out my children did not like to lick the stickers so I let them use a wet sponge to moisten the back of the stickers.

When creating a new work of art with the stickers, be sure to let your child lead the activity. Keep it open-ended to help encourage their creative thinking and imagination. Remember, it is the process, not the product, that is important.
