Looking for a fun and simple activity to do with your kids? These jelly-filled orange jack-o’-lanterns are perfect! They’re easy to make, delicious, and a creative treat that your little ones will love. Plus, they’re a great way to get your kids involved in the kitchen.

What You’ll Need:

• Oranges
• Jelly (any flavor, but strawberry works great for a “brainy” effect)
• A sharp knife (and adult supervision)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oranges: Start by slicing off the top of the oranges. Hand the orange to your child and let them scoop out and eat the middle. This is a fun and tasty step that they’ll enjoy.
2. Mix the Jelly: Follow the instructions on the jelly packet to mix up your jelly. Once ready, carefully pour the jelly mix into the hollowed-out orange shells.
3. Set the Jelly: Place the filled orange shells in the fridge to allow the jelly to set. This usually takes a few hours, so be patient!
4. Create the Faces: Once the jelly is set, use a sharp knife (with adult supervision) to carefully carve out a fun or spooky face on the front of the orange, just like you would with a pumpkin.
5. Enjoy! Now, it’s time for the kids to enjoy their fun, jelly-filled treats. You might want to have one yourself too!

This activity is a great way to combine a simple cooking project with some hands-on creativity. It’s perfect for Halloween or just a fun afternoon treat!
