We find that kids love this Jello Dig activity because it’s fun, messy, sensory play. And if the weather is nice, you can just hose down afterwards which, honestly, is a big part of the fun.
Find a container that is large enough to hold several plastic, waterproof themed toys. You can go a little smaller if you have little figures you can hide in the Jello. Sensory-bin style containers work really well for this activity, but a bucket or a big mixing bowl work great too.
There’s no need to buy any additional toys for this activity if you already have some waterproof / plastic figures, but we’ll drop some links to some themed figures if you’re still building your collection:
