Spread the container of the decorating sugar evenly over the rimmed baking sheet; set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the gelatin and 1/2 cup of the water. Let stand 25 minutes. Meanwhile, in a heavy 2-quart saucepan combine the remaining 1/2 cup water, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Stir well, then add food coloring until desired color is reached (this also can be adjusted later). Cook, stirring constantly, over low to medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring often. Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan.

If necessary, reduce heat to medium-low. With the stand mixer (with whisk attachment) on low to medium-low, slowly pur the hot sugar mixture into the gelatin mixture. Increase mixture to high and beat 15 minutes. Mixture should be thick, white and nearly tripled in volume. Add the vanilla extract and 1 T water, then beat until combined. If marshmallow is not the desired color, add additional food coloring and mix until just incorporated. Spray the wooden spoon with cooking spray, then spoon the mixture onto prepared pan. Spray the offset spatula with cooking spray, then use it to spread the marshmallow evenly over the pan in 1/3-1/2-inch thick layer. Sprinkle a second container of decorating sugar over the marshmallow and use your hands to spread it, coating the marshmallow evenly. Let stand, uncovered, overnight. Once the marshmallow has set, use cookie cutters to cut animals from it. Set them aside, making sure the edges don't touch. Once all the animals have been cut, discard the scraps of marshmallow, but save the excess sugar in the pan.
