One More View from the Pool

by Jan May

Do you need one more day by the pool before school begins? YEAH!!!

You and your friends can make their own pool party for Teddy Graham. Everybody bring their favorite book.
Before you get started, what is the BEST book you’ve read this summer?
Ask a parent send the title to us: peggy@devokids.com
We want your view so we can feature kids’ favorite books on DevoKids!

Materials you will need for Teddy Graham’s Pool Party:
1 Box Blue Jell-o
1 small box Teddy Grahams
Small box fruit roll-ups
Tiny drink umbrellas
Decorators frosting for glasses
Optional gummy sharks and fish

Let’s Get Started…
Make Jell-O as instructed on the box.
Place 6 plastic 4 oz cups in a larger Tupperware container for easy transport to freezer.
Ladle the Jell-O into the plastic cups
Let chill for about 2 hours in freezer for quick setting.

While you are waiting, unroll the fruit roll ups and cut them into a tiny towel size piece for the teddy grams to float on. You can use a paper plate and the plastic from the roll-up so they don’t stick as a cutting board.

Use colored decorator’s frosting in the tube to apply sunglasses to bears.

Lay the bears on their water mattress and set them on the Jell-O after the Jell-O is firm.

Push up the umbrellas and place them over the bears.

Optional: It might be fun to add different gummy shapes to the Jell-O after about an hour in the freezer- maybe gummy fish or sharks?
Letting the Jell-O firm up a little before adding them will keep them from sinking to the bottom.
Store in the refrigerator until use. Enjoy!
