• Prepare jello by boiling 1 cup of water
• In a heatproof pitcher or bowl with a spout - mix the Jell-O packet and 1 cup of hot water
• Whisk until powder is dissolved
• Add the cold cup of water
• Pour the blue Jell-O into the clear cups and place them in the refrigerator for the length of time it takes for the Jell-O to gel. (This might take around 4 hours)
• When the Jell-O is firm, you can start to decorate the cups. (This can be done up to a day in advance)
• In a zip tight back, use a rolling pin to crush the vanilla wafers into "sand"
• Pour the cookie sand over half of the Jell-O cups
• Add decorations to the sand, like stars, jelly beans, and a gummy bear
• Push the palm tree into the jello - somewhere besides the bear and push the umbrella in over the bear

If you want to add the fish:

• Just before serving, use a knife to cut a slit in the blue Jell-O and push the fish in - tail first
•
