My kids love to help me in the kitchen. One way I like to get them involved is to have them help me make adorable snacks. Â These ocean snack cups are not only cute but easy enough for even the youngest of helpers to lend a hand making them. You only need a few ingredients to put these cute treats together.
These ocean snack cups would be a great party treat for a baby shower, birthday party, or anything with a beach or ocean theme to it. Â You could replace the octopus easily with fish, or sharks, or anything water-themed as well.
They are the perfect snack for your next cookout, even for after school. Â You can use them at any sort of water-themed event – the ideas are truly endless!!

Instructions

- Add about half a cup of blue pudding mix to each cup, covering the sand.
- Top each cup with a sour gummy octopus to complete the look.
- Chill until ready to serve.
