Patriotic Party Jello Snacks

The 4th of July, the national day of the United States, is a little more then two weeks away. It commemerates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. We are officially in patriotic mode. Blogs are popping up with red, white and blue ideas everywhere. What a fun and wonderful day to celebrate. I am on a jello kick lately and my son and I made these little patriotic treasures today.

Supplies:

Baby food jars

Red, blue, and white spray paint

Red and blue jello

Strawberries and blueberries

Twine

Miniature flags

Whipped topping

Two boxes of jello will make 12 jars. We started with the blue jello. Follow the instructions on the jello box and fill the baby jars 1/3 full. I dropped a few blueberries in each jar. Let chill for 4-5 hours.

After, the blue jello set, we added sliced strawberries in each jar. Follow the directions to make red jello and pour equivalent portion in jars. Note: Jars should now be 2/3 full. Chill for 4-5 hours.

In the meantime, we spray painted the baby food jar lids with red, white, and blue.

Top each jar with whipped topping (Cool Whip). Another fun option would be mini marshmallows.

We tied a piece of twine around each lid and slid a decorative flag through the twine.

These little desserts would be perfect for kids or even adults at a 4th of July party. Enjoy!!
