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. 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. 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. You can use them at any sort of water-themed event – the ideas are truly endless!!

Scale
- 1 Box vanilla instant pudding
- 2 cups cold milk
- 15 drops liquid blue food coloring
- 8 graham crackers (or purchase already ground crumbs)

- 8 clear disposable cups
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pudding, milk, and food coloring.

- Put about 1/2″ of graham cracker sand in the bottom of each cup. Don’t worry about getting it even, let it take a natural, organic shape.
- 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.
