JELL-O Creations Review

Quick, Easy & Cheap: JELL-O Creations Kit Review



If you are looking for an easy project to make with your child, this is perfect! I saw this on the shelf at our local Stater Bros and couldn't resist. My toddler LOVES cooking and this looked like something she could easily help make. She had also just learned about worms in her Mother Goose Time lesson so she was very excited!


This is as simple as simple gets guys. All you need is milk and cups!


I used some of my daughters cups that I had handy. It filled up 6 perfectly.



My daughter, who is almost 3, was able to mix the Jello with a little help from me.


We used a spoon to fill the cups (and taste test of course). 



Lastly, she added the Oreo crumb topping and worms!


It was that easy! It took about 15 minutes (prep to cleanup) and was so simple that she could do everything herself. Not to mention, I ate one myself and they were delicious! It actually was quite a bit of food and I could see you being able to fill 12 smaller serving cups that would be more appropriate for younger kids.

This product I would give 5 out of 5 stars! It's DELICIOUS, EASY and CHEAP (under $4)! While it's not something we would eat every day, it was a nice treat to make and share with our friends. I definitely recommend this! They also have a whole collection of different kits. Check them out!

Quick Tutorial: Mess-Free Art Display


Quick Tutorial - Mess Free Art Display


Estimated Time for Project: 5 minutes (unless your kids try to help)




My oldest daughter has started the Mother Goose Time Homeschool Preschool program (which I will explain later) in which she creates a lot of awesome stuff daily. She wants to proudly display it and so do I. This was a cheap, easy and cute way to hang her art without putting holes in the wall or cramming the refrigerator door.

Items Needed:
1) Command Damage Free Hanging (Cord Organization) - I found this at my local dollar store!


2) String
3) Scissors
4) Clothespins

Steps:

1) Hang your hooks on opposing sides of the wall (as level as you can when free-handing it because you don't have time to measure precisely).

2) Wrap the string around your index finger loosely and tie a knot to create a small loop.

3) Hang the loop on the first hook and measure how long you would like your string. You can have the string tight or loose depending on your space. Cut.

4) Wrap the string around your index finger loosely and tie a knot to create a small loop. Hang the loop on the 2nd hook.

5) Use Clothespins to hang whatever you like!
