Kid Territory:Recipes: Jaguar Jell-O®

What's the difference between jaguars and leopards? Both are big cats, both roar, and both are covered with spots. The answer lies in the way their spots are arranged. The leopard and the jaguar have spots arranged in small circles all over their coats; however, a jaguar has one or more extra spots in the center of each circle, the leopard does not.

Ingredients

1	box lemon gelatin (either size)
	Water
	Chocolate chips
	Black jelly beans
	Black licorice

Mix gelatin with water according to instructions on package. Pour into individual clear cups and chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.

Now the fun begins! Set up your jaguar spots station with separate bowls of chocolate chips, black jelly beans, and black licorice. Create your own jaguar spot snacks using any combination of spots. The spots will sink through the gelatin to give you that jaguar look. Put your spotted cups back in the refrigerator for another hour or until firm.

See if you and your friends can be "spotted" enjoying Jaguar Jell-O!
