I shared on Facebook I was in need of a Train, LEGO, Puzzle, etc table. In my search, I ran into this amazing Upcycled Kidkraft Train (and LEGO) Table in the Amazon Comments.

Take a look at the KidKraft Lego Compatible 2 in 1 Activity Table reduced to $75.99 from $85.35. I love that this table can be flipped over and used as a LEGO or Train Table. This also come in Espresso for $105.

Details:

200 LEGO-compatible blocks
30-piece train set
Double-sided play board
Convenient storage under the play board
Large enough that multiple children can play at once
200 LEGO®-compatible blocks and 30 piece train set
Double-sided play board and storage underneath
Large enough that multiple children can play at once
Sturdy construction

UPCYCLE IT!

You can see how the author (in the comments section) made the table distressed (I recommend Chalk Paint for that) and also added a Magnetic Knife Bar and Magnetic/Metal Mesh Bins. Also check out these Melissa & Doug Wooden Chairs if you children like to sit (though they won’t slide under the table.) I found these baskets pretty cool too!

I also am looking very closely at the KidKraft Wooden Train Table and 120-Piece Waterfall Mountain Train Set with 3 Bins.

Such a lovely and memorable bride to remember this special occasion.

Beach Themed Party Food | Vanilla Pudding Cups

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

July 18, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Seasonal, Social Media, Summer

With only a few minutes prep, you can create these Beach Party individual pudding cups. Using teddy grahams, graham crackers and a few candies, you have adorable kids’ pool party snacks for a birthday, beach vacation or even a class party.

Beach Scene Vanilla Pudding Cups

These tasty treats are almost too cute to eat. Turn a vanilla pudding cup into a beach scene complete with a circle float, umbrella and bear laying on a towel above the beach sand. While these snacks are the embodiment of sand and surf, they are best served at a beach themed party or at a pool party as they would not go well with wind and sand.

What kind of food do you serve at a pool party?

For a pool party, you will find most of your guests snacking. While it’s nice to serve things like hamburgers, hotdogs or even pizza, make sure that you have a good selection of individual pool party snacks. That way people can eat on the go or as the sun and water develops their hunger.

Consider the following kid-friendly pool party snacks…

Beach Themed Snacks

The end of school is quickly approaching and if you are looking for an EASY last day of school snack, summer party idea, or something fun for a beach-themed celebration try out these Beach Scene Vanilla Pudding Cups.

Ingredients:

We used Snack Pack Vanilla Pudding Cups, make sure you have one pudding up per child/serving. Follow with one Teddy Graham, Life Saver, Air Head Extreme and Umbrella to perfect your individualized beach scene!

Snack Pack Vanilla Pudding Cups
Crushed graham crackers
Airhead Extreme Bites
Life Saver Gummies
Honey Teddy Graham’s
Drink Umbrellas

Where do I find Cocktail Umbrellas?

There are a number of places to find small drink umbrellas. I would recommend hitting the Dollar Tree first, but also look on Amazon, Target or at your local party store.

Directions:

First Take the tops off of your pudding cups and fill to the top with your crushed graham crackers to look like sand.

Place a Teddy Graham onto an Airhead extreme and place onto the “sand.”

Stick your umbrella into the sand with a gummy life saver next to it.

Serve with a spoon and enjoy these cute little beach treats!

Can I make these the night before?

If you want to prep your beach themed party snacks the day before, prep the topping ingredients. Go ahead and set aside the number of pudding cups you need. Crush your graham crackers and store in an air tight container. Count out your number of umbrellas and peices of candy. For 30 beach snacks, it should take no more than 10 minutes prep.
