Before I blog about
PKK, here are two pictures of the girls.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Princess Kaitlyn who lived in a beautiful castle by an enchanted forest, a magical lake, and a fantastically fun playground. One day as Princess Kaitlyn skipped towards the magical lake to visit her mermaid friends, she noticed that all the trees, bushes, shrubs, and animals in the enchanted forest had turned white. They had no color at all! Princess Kaitlyn halted to a stop and stared at the forest. Her animal friends looked so sad and confused as to why the color left the forest. Princess Kaitlyn turned on her heels and ran back to the castle to make a magic elixir to restore the color to the forest.
How was Princess Kaitlyn going to restore the color...using jello!!
Princess Kaitlyn started with red, yellow, blue and green jello. She mixed colors to also have orange, purple, dark green and brown jello. She needed elixirs of all the colors of the rainbow and brown to restore the enchanted forest to it's beauty.
She poured the powder packets into separate bowls, let her mommy add the hot water, and stirred each one until the gelatin dissolved.
Princess Kaitlyn added yellow and blue to make green (yes, we already had green, but it was fun to mix colors to make more!).
Princess Kaitlyn confirmed that mixing blue and red made dark purple jello. It tasted pretty good too!
Here Princess Kaitlyn added red and yellow jello to make orange (we added a little too much red, so it was a dark orange).
The 'elixirs' made especially by Kaitlyn after mixing two colors of hello together - dark green, dark orange and dark purple. Now she has all the colors in the rainbow!
Once Princess Kaitlyn had all of her elixirs ready to restore color to the enchanted forest, she traveled back to it. Princess Kaitlyn carefully poured her elixirs throughout the forest. She poured every color on the flowers, green on the trees, shrubs, leaves, and brown on the ground and the roots. (Our yard worked wonderfully for pouring our diluted jello elixirs, wish I hadn't forgotten my camera). In no time, Princess Kaitlyn had restored color to the enchanted forest and the animals.
After going outside, Princess Kaitlyn waited patiently for the jello to get 'jiggly' so she could cut out animal shapes and celebrate the array of colors in the enchanted forest with her animal friends -
Ferbur, Cookie
Piepea, and the boisterous butterflies.
Unfortunately, as these animal shapes prove below, jello isn't really meant for cookie cutters. At least ours wasn't. So we just cut the rest up into squares. It's yummy in any shape!
Princess Kaitlyn enjoyed her day in the kitchen.
Yes, Princess Kaitlyn had TWO Princess Kaitlyn Kitchen Activities in the same week because of national cupcake day. We couldn't pass up such a silly, yet delicious day without making rich, decadent, scrumptious chocolate peanut butter cup cupcakes.
It was adorable to visit the fantastically fun playground (really Kaitlyn's classroom) as the kid's finished up their cupcakes. I saw many chocolate smeared faces along with a crumb coated floor. I imagine nap time didn't go well for the rest of Princess Kaitlyn's friends as they were probably a little hyped up on sugar. Sorry teachers! It was worth it though because Princess Kaitlyn was very proud that she took such a fun treat to school to share with her friends!
Princess Kaitlyn worked on digging up more soil (made instant chocolate pudding for the bottom layer of the soil/sand). 
Princess Kaitlyn shook the soil to make sure it was ready (added three cups milk to instant chocolate pudding and shake, shake shake, shake, shake shake, shake the pudding...yeah!). 
Princess Kaitlyn prepared her flowerpots. 
Aunt Niki, Pa Clinton, and Gamma Linda helped put the soil in the flowerpots (small dixie cups worked wonders). 
Princess Kaitlyn planted the special flower seeds in each flower pot (used M&M's and peanuts in the 'soil'). 
Princess Kaitlyn thought they tasted great too!!
Princess Kaitlyn waited patiently while mommy placed the honey, sunflower seeds, butter and cinnamon into a small saucepan on low heat. Once combined, mommy removed the saucepan and carefully pouring the honey mixture onto the popcorn mixture. Princess Kaitlyn stirred this sticky goodness together.
The instructions suggested letting it sit overnight, but we nibbled after several hours. We didn't notice a textural difference after several hours versus the next day.
