As the sun shines bright and temperatures rise, what better way to celebrate your child's birthday than with a pool party? And to make it truly unforgettable, we have a delightful secret ingredient - Aeroplane Jelly! Imagine vibrant jelly-inspired treats and activities that will have the kids jumping with joy as they dive into the crystal-clear waters. In this guide, we'll show you how to throw a "Jellylicious" pool party that will be the highlight of the summer.
Before we dive into the jellylicious details, let's set the scene for your pool party. Choose a sunny day and a pool location, whether it's in your own backyard, a community pool, or a water park. Decorate with bright, tropical colors like turquoise, yellow, and pink to evoke a fun and vibrant atmosphere.
Nautical Vibes: Embrace the pool theme with nautical decorations. Think blue and white tablecloths, beach balls, and anchors. Hang a fishnet with seashells to add a splash of maritime charm.
Inflatable Paradise: Blow up a variety of colorful pool floats and inflatables and scatter them around the pool area. These make for great photo backdrops and provide endless entertainment for the kids.
Sun and Shade: Set up an umbrella or two for shaded relaxation spots. You could also use colorful beach towels and cushions as seating for your little guests.
Tropical Oasis: Add a touch of the tropics with fake palm leaves and leis. This can help transport your backyard into a paradise!
Marco Polo: A classic pool game, Marco Polo is a must. Blindfold one child (the "seeker") and have them call out "Marco." The others (the "hiders") must respond with "Polo." The seeker must try to tag a hider based on their voice alone.
Beach Ball Races: A pool is an excellent place for races. Have the kids sit on a floating device (such as an inflatable dolphin or donut), and then, on "go," they race to the other side.
Water Balloon Toss: Fill some water balloons and have a friendly tossing competition. The catch: every successful catch means one step back. Last one standing wins! Treasure Hunt: Toss some waterproof toys (plastic coins or gemstones) into the pool. Give the kids a list of items to find. The child with the most treasures wins a prize!
Now, let's talk about the highlight of your pool party: the Jelly Pool Cake. This refreshing dessert not only tastes delicious but also adds a fun and whimsical touch to your poolside celebration. Here's how you can make it:
You Will Need
1 x 470 g packet vanilla cake mix with icing
1 x 85 g Aeroplane Original Berry Blue Flavour Jelly
400 g packet finger biscuits
assorted lollies to decorate pool
How to Make It
Hint: To save time, purchase a prepared cake and frosting and follow decorations to assemble pool party cake.
Watermelon "Beach Balls": Cut watermelon into round slices and use a small round cookie cutter to create watermelon "beach balls." Serve them on skewers for easy snacking.
Swimming Pool Jelly Cups: Make Aeroplane Jelly Berry Blue cups and add gummy fish to create a pool scene. You can also use blueberries as "floating" pool toys. Add a gummy beach umbrella for a cute touch.
Pool Noodle Pasta Salad: Prepare a pasta salad with spiral pasta to resemble pool noodles. Add colorful veggies and a tangy dressing.
Fish-Shaped Sandwiches: Use a fish-shaped cookie cutter to create fun, fish-themed sandwiches.
Fruit Kabobs: Thread a variety of colourful fruits (grapes, melon, pineapple, and berries) onto skewers to create vibrant and refreshing fruit kabobs.
Sunscreen Sippers: Serve drinks in small, clean sunscreen bottles for a quirky, on-theme beverage option. Make sure the bottles are thoroughly cleaned before using them.
Lifeguard Tower Snack Mix: Create a snack mix with a combination of pretzels, popcorn, and colorful candies like M&M's. Present it in a lifeguard tower-shaped container.
