Dissolve 5 g of Sodium alginate into 100mL of warm water. We dissolved the power into a large sauce bottle to make making shaking easier. This will take a while to dissolve. Place in the fridge for 5 hours or so.

Make up the Calcium chloride solution b y dissolving 20g into 1L of water. This will be the ‘cross-linking’ solution.

Falvour the alginate solution so it tastes nice. We used Jelly crystals as they have a strong sugar taste. Bubblegum works wonders! Shake well.

Now pour the cross-linking solution onto a bowl and the coloured alginate soltuion into a smaller container. Then Start making your worms.

Suck up the alginate solution into the syringe and then squirt into the cross-linking solution. The worm should form.

Now enjoy your worms and……..down the hatch!
