Jello salad

Jello salad is a yummy treat made of jello and other yummy things like fruit, nuts, marshmallows, and whipped cream. Imagine you have a very special cup that you can put in the fridge or freezer to make the special jello liquid turn into a wiggly, jiggly solid. That's what jello is!

Now that you have your yummy wiggly jello, you can mix in fun things like pieces of fruit and nuts to make it even tastier. And if you're feeling fancy, you can even mix in some whipped cream and marshmallows for an extra special treat.

If you need to make enough for a big group, you can use a special mold to make your jello salad into fun shapes like hearts, stars, or even animals!

Just remember, jello salad is a special treat and we should only have it sometimes as part of a balanced diet.
