Beach Bear Jello Cups are the cutest summer treats for kids! Blue Jello cups with little teddy bears laying on a beach towel on the sand under a beach umbrella! Perfect for a summer tea party!
I made these Beach Bear Jello Cups for a kids tea party several summers ago. My kids absolutely adored them!
They are so easy to make and so much fun!
Ingredients and Materials
- Clear, disposable cocktail cups
- Blue Jello, any flavor
- Water
- Graham Crackers
- Airheads Xtremes Belts
- Teddy Grahams
- Cocktail Umbrella Picks
Prepare the Jello Cups
Prepare the Jello according to the package directions, then divide it between 5 clear plastic cups. You can use clear cocktail glasses if you'd like, but I find plastic is a better choice for small children.
Place the cups on a rimmed baking sheet and slip into the refrigerator until the Jello is set.
Wait to decorate the cups until right before serving.
Decorate the Cups
Once the Jello is chilled, sprinkle some crushed graham crackers off to one side of the cup to make the sand.
Place a small slice of the Airhead tape on top of the sand to make the beach towel.
Place a teddy graham on top of the towel.
Insert a cocktail umbrella pick into the sand and Jello, above the Teddy Graham's head.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Gluten Free Option
Unfortunately I have been unable to find gluten free Teddy Grahams, but you could use these gluten free bunnies instead or gluten free animal crackers. Use gluten free graham crackers for the sand.
