Turn a drop of juice into a squishy ball. Draft: not yet checked
Crew (first name, last initial):
Safety first
- Use food-grade powders only.
- Ask about food allergies.
- Follow the food rules (being confirmed).
- Wash hands and tools.
⏳ Needs time to bake
Mix the juice and the seaweed powder the night before. It must rest overnight so the bubbles go away.
Prep
- Mix juice + powder the night before.
- Use only 2 juices. Not acidic ones.
- Fill the calcium baths and bottles.
Crew for prep: 1 person, about 1 hr. Prep happens ahead of time: see Needs time to bake.
Run it
- Hold the dropper 2–3 inches above the calcium bath.
- Squeeze gently, one drop at a time, about 10 drops.
- Wait 30 seconds, then scoop with a slotted spoon.
- A volunteer dips them in a rinse cup, then puts them in a small take-home cup.
Ask, instead of explaining: What happens if you drop it from higher up?
Clean up
- Wipe the table and put reusable items in your tote.
- Bag the trash and wash hands.
- Log anything borrowed so it can go back.
- Rinse the slotted spoons, bowls, and droppers.
