It’s hard to believe that the weather is already getting so warm here in southern California. Growing up I have the best memories of sweet summer days with picnic lunches. To this day I can still smell the sweet pine and dirt as we enjoyed many summer picnics beneath the shade of the trees. One of our favorite summer treats was always cool JELL-O pudding. It’s those same sweet summer memories I hope to share with our girls.
To get ready for some fun in the sun, I created this Pinterest Board for some fun inspiration.
Follow OurOrdinaryLife’s board Fun in the Sun – Fun For Kids This Summer on Pinterest.
We decided to have a little fun with a delightful spring style picnic with our favorite treats like JELL-O Pudding Dirt Cups. We will be sharing the entire recipe soon and can’t wait to share one of our favorite summer treats!
After checking out so many summer fun crafts, we decided to create some summer suns. Nothing brings out the worms from the dirt like some sunshine after a rainy spring and both of these ideas are such a simple and fun way to celebrate summer fun as we start to change seasons. The food shown in these photos is meant to be served in tiny little mason jars. Each one is ½ a serving, so two mason jars per person! 
The best way to create meaningful memories with our children is to spend time together. One of the best ways to create memories is in the kitchen. JELL-O Pudding is not only deliciously easy to make with your children, but with a few extra steps you can create a fun and meaningful snack idea that the whole family can participate in.
When it’s made with JELL-O, it’s made with love. There are thousands of things to make with JELL-O. But there’s only one way to make JELL-O. And that’s with love.
Thanks to Jell-O brand for allowing me to partner with them! I had a blast coming up with fun family activities. Already planning to try this at home with your little ones? I’d love to hear how it goes in the comments below. For more inspiration visit: http://jello.com.
What’s your favorite way to enjoy JELL-O pudding?
Thanks for such an easy and tasty way to eat sponge cake. I’ve make it a few times now, and evoeryne seems to love it. Thanks, and keep those easy recipes coming.
I haven’t had JELLO is a long time but used to really love it. I’m sure it’s even more fun to make into a fun treat.
Am I allowed to admit that I love jello shots? There are so many fun things you can do with jello for kids too.
I am more of summer person, love all the activities we can do. Thanks for sharing the desert cups! This way is so much fun even for the kids. Love Jello 🙂
I’m so excited about summer! Going to be lots of fun. Love those dessert cups.
Those dessert cups look so cool! I remember my aunt used to make these for my when I was a kid. They’re so much fun!
I love dirt cups!!! Plus, it is so much fun to make! Thanks for the great ideas
Those look like GREAT summer crafts. I love edible crafts and those jello cups look delicious!
Yummy! The pudding in a dirt cup sort of freaks me out cause it looks so real lol! My boys would love this though and of course my girls would freak out like me lol. I have to make these for our next picnic.
I love making Jello with fresh fruit mixed in and whip cream on top. There are so many fantastic recipes to make with Jello.
It has been ages since I have had JELL-O pudding, but I’m quite sure my kids would love the “dirt” cups. Thanks for the idea!
Jello and summer activity always comes in pair. Love the idea of this! Kids will surely love it!
AWW YES, I love jello. We will be taking this with us all summer long.
These look so good! I was just saying the other day I hadn’t had Jello in so long that I think I must make these!
I have been ready for summer for a long time now! We always have Jello in the house, it’s the kid’s favorite snack.
Something about Jello just says Summer to me. I have loved it since I was a kid and I passed the love onto my kids. Who doesn’t love Jello?
I love dirt cups. We used to make them all the time. Dirt cakes, too. So cute. I’m a huge fan of pudding so they were always a great snack or treat that were perfectly portioned.
When I was younger, I use to make jello with my mom all the time. I think this is great.
Great post! I love using Pinterest to give me inspiration and I like how you’ve made one for summer. 🙂
Looks like a ton of fun! Love the Jell-o Dirt Pudding Cups! Super cute!
Yummy, dirt cups are so much fun. I should make them for my kids.
It’s getting hot in Texas too. This is the first week that we haven’t had rain, knocking on wood. The rain has kept our warm temps at bay and filled up our lakes that were super low.
Those are cute ideas to keep kids entertained this summer. I am jotting down ideas to do with my kids so this made in my list.
I have always wanted to make these worm dirt cups. They are so cute. Thanks for the ideas.
I think I made a pie once using jello pudding and a store bought pie crust. A friend of mine taught me how to do it. It was good. I will have to do it again.
My kids always loved those dirt cups and gummy worms when they were little. And Jello products are always in my pantry or fridge.
We are so ready for summer! My daughter enjoys her pudding with her fingers, no need for a spoon! LOL
My kiddos love dirt cups! I used to make them for my boys all the time when they were much smaller! I should surprise them one day!
This is so cute. The recipe looks good too. Your kids look mighty happy too.
Omg!!!! Any recipe that includes gummy worms is a bit for me!! I’m totally going to have to make these. Too yummy
I love the little gummy worm in dirt snack! It is so cute and a perfect thing to have in the summer, I would love to make it.
Those are so cute and they’re the perfect summer treats! Kids always get excited for fun treats like these.
I love all of the different flavors Jello pudding has now! Chocolate will always be my favorite though 🙂 Kids always love those dirt cups. I think they’re so simple and so cute and fun!
What an amazing way to celebrate mid spring. I know more than a few people who are ready to soak up the sun after the cold, harsh winters they had. Thanks for sharing.
What a fun way to celebrate spring! After the long winter we had, we are more than ready to enjoy the sun and warmth!
My kids love Jello too! Summertime is the perfect time for them to snack on them.
I never tried Jello before, but after reading your post I can’t wait to try it out with my little girl 😀
I really miss eating Jello Pudding. I can’t wait until they start making it with Stevia for a sweetner so I can enjoy it again.
By the way… very cute craft idea.
Nothing is more fun on a summer day than a delicious snack made by mom. I’ll have to whip up some of those dirt cups. I MIGHT share them with the kids.
Jello will always be associated with summer for me, I love all of the summer jello snacks. I am so ready for summer too!
Those dirt cups sound awesome. My boys would love it if I surprised them with some of those when they got home from school!
