Beach Days Jello Cups
JELLO Cups For Beach Days:
Checking in here – we have some gorgeous May weather for us. And I mean gorgeous. And I can’t stop thinking about the beach. It’s been awhile. I can’t wait for Rider to dip his little toes into the water. He’s already such a water baby – he’s loved baths since birth. And I keep thinking about cold summer drinks and fun days with the kids, because I think it will be another camp-less summer. Perhaps we’ll have some light travel. We certainly deserve it. This recipe, though. It’s adorable. We can agree that sunny and 70 with low humidity and only puffy clouds in the sky is pretty amazing, right? And can we also agree that these JELLO Cups are absolutely adorable?They’re “almost” too cute to eat.
I’ll make do, though. Right now is a crazy month – I always find May to be a little transitory and weird, and this one is another weird one, for sure. The weather today, though. That inspires. What I’m thinking about is relaxing by the beach. I’m thinking about cool blue water, slower breaths, and slower paces. Maybe some baby beach days. I’m thinking it’s a goal to achieve. There’s always time for the crazy. Let’s make time for the chill:
Beach Days Jello Cups:
What You Need:
2- 3oz. boxes Jell-O, Berry Blue Flavor
1 pkg. Honey Teddy Grahams
2 boxes Rainbow Nerds
10 Clear Plastic Cups
1 pkg. Gummy Lifesavers
1 pkg. Airheads Extreme Sourfuls
5 Drink Umbrellas
Black Edible Marker
Optional: Gummy fish/Gummy Sharks
What You Do:
- Prepare Jell-O according to package directions.
- Pour about 3-4 tablespoons of nerds into 5 plastic cups.
- Place an empty cup into each of the cups with nerds, and place a gummy fish down in each cup if you would like.
- Pour Jell-O into each of the 5 cups, and fill within 1/2 inch from the top.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours or until gelatin is set.
- Use the Lifesavers and Airheads as floats to put on top of your blue gelatin water, and put the Teddy Grahams on the floats. (Make sure to put the Teddy Graham inside the lifesaver before you place it on the jello). Place an umbrella into each cup as well.
- The nerds resemble rocks in the ocean while under the blue gelatin cups, but they can be added to the Jell-O to eat or just by themselves.
- Use Black Edible Marker to paint “sunglasses” on the bears!

It is gorgeous here too and seriously I am over the moon about it. These are adorable and may need to make today to celebrate, too!! 🙂
I can’t wait until we celebrate good weather again!!
These are just too cute, almost too cute to eat. I think everyone would appreciate me making these.
haha, since I don’t eat Jello, they were literally too cute for me to eat them!
Those are freakin’ adorable!! Perfect for a kiddie birthday party.
Aren’t they?? Way too cute to eat.
Could this get any cuter?! No, it couldn’t! I am so making these this summer!
I meant to make them again, but now I have a whole new upcoming summer (in theory) in which to impress with these!
I am going to make this with Natalie. She’ll love them. Me too, actually. I love everything in this cup.
The only thing I didn’t love was the Jello, but the Teddy Grahams are a favorite of mine!
Say WHAT NOW!??! This recipe is so stinkin’ cute!!! I just can’t even right now. I wanna dive right into the jello with those little teddies!
Right! I know it’s not GiGi approved, but it sure looks good!
Oh my goodness, these are amazing! I want to have a beach-themed party just so I can serve these. And just yesterday Eve asked me if we can go to the beach. (Soon!)
I can’t believe after two weeks of crummy weather how it suddenly seems to have turned into summer. Thanks goodness, the rain wasn’t helping me at all!
I hope you went to the beach! And this summer, you can go with TWO cuties!
OMG!! I love these!! They are so cute and perfect for the kiddos.
Thank you! They are about as cute as it gets.
These are so cute Tamara! Pinning and hope to make these soon!
It’s already been almost a year, so I’m already getting ready to make them again!
Oh my goodness, these are ridiculously cute! Perfect for a beach party or a summer birthday celebration!
Thanks for sharing the inspiration!
