How to Make
- Put half a cup of chia seeds into a jug or mixing bowl
- Add roughly 1 and a half cups of water (you need about 3 times more water than seeds)
- Add a few drops of food colouring until your mixture is a pale green or blue
- Soak the seeds for an hour or two and they will begin to swell up forming a jelly coating around themselves – you can add more water if they get too thick
- Store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to play with them – they last a few days in the fridge.
Top Tip
Add a few drops of vanilla or peppermint essence to make it a multi-sensory experience.
