What you'll need:

  • Instant Vanilla pudding

  • Clear plastic drinking cups

How to make it:

  1. Follow the directions on the package of instant vanilla pudding.
  2. Divide the pudding between the clear plastic drinking cups (box directions will give you number of servings).
  3. Place cups in refrigerator.
  4. Place vanilla wafers in Ziploc bag. Break the wafers up a bit.
  5. Use the rolling pin to roll the wafers into very small pieces.
  6. Sprinkle the sand across the top of all the cups. You will want about 1/4" of sand on top of the pudding.
  7. Place back in refrigerator until time to serve.
  8. At party time, remove cups from refrigerator, add a small bounce ball and an opened miniature umbrella to the cup.

Tips:

A large shooter marble, as pictured, may be used - however this is recommended only for older children as it does present a choking hazard. A suitable alternative would be to use a fruit roll up to represent a beach towel.
