  • Piece of cardboard covered with aluminum foil
  • Jellybeans (not for children under 3 years)

Instructions

  1. Spread the frosting on the aluminum foil.
  2. Have your child arrange the jellybeans on the frosting to create a picture or design. She can eat her design later, if she likes.

Safety

Jellybeans are a choking hazard for young children, so this activity is not appropriate for children under 3 years of age.
