Valentine Jell-O Jigglers: A Fun Activity For Toddlers

Last updated on February 5th, 2021 at 02:52 pm

 

Raise your hand if Jell-O was one of your favorite desserts as a kid!

 

Me too!

And I just LOVED when my mom made Jell-O Jigglers.  They were so much fun to eat!

I’ve been wanting to use my heart-shaped cookie cutters to make some heart shaped Jell-O jigglers with my little ones.  So we decided to make them one afternoon before Valentine’s Day.

They turned out great! And we had SO much fun making them.  I felt like a kid again myself.  It’s such a great activity for toddlers and moms (or dads) to do together!

If you’re curious to how they turned out, keep scrolling to see how we made them!

Heart Shaped Jell-O Jigglers:

We made 2 batches of Jigglers: one watermelon (pink) and the other cherry (red). The recipe for Jigglers is usually on the side of the Jell-O box but you can also find the link to the Jiggler recipe here.  It’s different from regular Jell-O because it only calls for boiling water (no cold needed.) Besides getting the Jell-O all you need is water–can’t get any easier than that.

What You’ll Need to make Your  Heart-Shaped Jell-O Jigglers:

  • Jell-O : You can pick any flavor
  • Mixing bowl
  • Glass casserole dish
  • Heart Shaped Cookie Cutters

How to Make the Heart Shaped Jigglers:

We poured the hot water into the mixing bowl to dissolve the powder and then poured that mixture into a 9 x 13 glass casserole dish (shown below.)

The glass dish with Jell-O was put into the refrigerator for a few hours until the Jell-O became more solidified.

Before using the cutters to cut out the heart shapes, we dipped the bottom of the glass dish into a pan of warm water for about 15 seconds to loosen it a bit.

My little helper was on hand to help press the cookie cutters into the jell-o to make our heart shaped jigglers.

We hadn’t had BBQ in SO long! So it was a delicious surprise when my husband came home from running errands yesterday with BBQ  for dinner:) Melt in your mouth brisket, Mac & cheese and jalapeño cornbread were among the goodies he got- so excited there are leftovers for today! 

And while he was out getting BBQ, I was trying on some Amazon swimsuits to share with you today! 

Swipe to see some different styles and head to my stories for the try-on with sizing details.
