What You Need

Instant Vanilla pudding Milk (per instructions on pudding)

Vanilla wafers (cookies)

Ziploc bag, freezer or storage

Rolling pin

Miniature umbrellas (find at party supply store)

Small bounce balls (to look like a beach ball)

Clear plastic drinking cups

How To Make It

Follow the directions on the package of instant vanilla pudding. Divide the pudding between the clear plastic drinking cups (box directions will give you number of servings). Place cups in refrigerator. Place vanilla wafers in Ziploc bag. Break the wafers up a bit. Use the rolling pin to roll the wafers into very small pieces (sand). Sprinkle the sand across the top of all the cups. You will want about 1/4" of sand on top of the pudding. Place back in refrigerator until time to serve. At party time, remove cups from refrigerator, add a small bounce ball and an opened miniature umbrella to the cup.

Tips

A large shooter marble, as pictured, may also be used. Or, for a yummy beach ball, try a small gumball!
