Blue Jelly Teddy Boats – Easy Kids’ Party Jelly Cups

If you’re looking for a simple party food idea that looks amazing but takes almost no effort, this blue jelly treat is it. Bright, fun and totally kid-approved, it’s perfect for birthdays, beach-themed parties or any celebration where you want the table to pop.

The best part? You can make it as one big centrepiece or in individual cups for easy grab-and-go party food.

What You’ll Need

• Blue jelly crystals (or gelatin)
• Clear glass or plastic container or clear individual cups
• Orange gummy rings (peach rings work perfectly)
• Teddy bear biscuits or small cookies

How to Make the Blue Jelly Base

1. Prepare the blue jelly according to the packet instructions.
2. Pour into a clear container or individual clear cups.
3. Place in the fridge and chill until just set – firm enough to hold toppings, but still slightly soft.

Tip: This timing is important so the decorations stay in place rather than sinking.

Decorating Your Jelly Boats

1. Gently place an orange gummy ring onto the jelly surface.
2. Sit a teddy bear biscuit or cookie upright in the centre of each ring – it looks like a little boat floating on the ocean.
3. Repeat across the container or cups.
4. Return to the fridge to fully set.

That’s it. No baking. No stress. Maximum impact.

Big Dish or Individual Cups?

Both work beautifully – it just depends on how you’re styling your party.

One large dish

Perfect as a centrepiece on your dessert table. Kids love pointing out their favourite “boat” before it’s cut and served. It works perfectly on a DIY dessert platter.
