How To Make Rainbow Jello


1. Select as many colors as you want for your rainbow.  I picked 4 colors.  Purchase those colors of the boxed Jello.
2. Make the color that you want on the bottom of your layering.  Put approximately 1/4 cup of that Jello in the bottom of each individual container and refrigerate for about 1 hour (make sure Jello is set before moving onto the next color).


3. In the photo shown above, you can see my first color was purple.  Next, I made green Jello and added a 1/4 cup of green Jello to each of the individual containers.  Refrigerate for about an hour or until the green Jello is set.


4. Make the next color of Jello.  I made yellow.  Put 1/4 cup of Jello in each container and refrigerate until set.

Look at how it is coming along!
5. Add your next color (mine was red) as in previous steps.


6. VIOLA!  Once the last color has set...you have your rainbow Jello!!


7. Add whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles (as shown in first photo) before serving to finish off your rainbow treat!

Rainbow-themed Playgroup

I love our Mondays in the summer.  Many of them mean it is PLAYGROUP MONDAY.  A group of my friends that I've known since before we had kids have gotten together in the summers for playgroups with our kids for years.  Usually each family hosts one time in the summer...and today was our Monday.

We had a rainbow theme.


We read the Bible story of Noah and God's promise.  God sent a rainbow as a reminder that He always keeps His promises.  We had rainbow sheets.  Some of the kids decided to color their rainbow and other kids decorated it with Fruit Loops.



The kids played with lots and lots of toys.  After all, it is a playgroup.  And the mommies got to talk and talk and talk!!  (YEAH for playgroup Mondays!)


We had lunch with rainbow bread.  You can order this from Publix.  Isn't it neat??!!  The kids seemed to think it was. 

Once school starts, this will be a great thing to order for school lunches.  Your kids will be the talk of the cafeteria!
We had a rainbow drink station with darling paper straws to help in our rainbow theme.

These came from HEY YO YO.

We had a rainbow fruit tray, rainbow goldfish, and rainbow Fruit By The Foot. 

For dessert, we had rainbow Jello.  If you want a tutorial on how to make rainbow Jello, click {here}.


It was a fun playgroup.  





And yes, Brewer and Avery were here but didn't make it into any of the photos.  They were quick with eating and getting back to playing!
