  • Jelly Bean Flowers (& a game!) … these jelly bean flowers are cute enough by themselves. I also thought we could play a game with them!
    1. Print the flower template from Martha Stewart here onto springtime scrapbook paper.
    2. Cut out.
    3. Fill up a cupcake liner with jelly beans and place in the center.
    4. You can write your name on a petal and leave it at that for a cute place setting decoration or…
    5. TO PLAY:
      • Write 1-6 on each petal.
      • Count out 1-6 jelly beans for each petal (count out 1 jelly bean on the 1 petal … 5 jelly beans on the 5 petal …)
      • Roll a dice.
      • Whatever number you roll, remove those jelly beans from the matching petal and place back in the center cup.
      • Continue until all the petals are empty.
      • OPTIONAL: if you roll the same number again, fill the petal back up with the right number jelly beans
  • Jelly Bean Relay
    1. Place a small bowl of jelly beans at one end of the room.
    2. Place an empty bowl at the other end of the room.
    3. Have the kids hold a spoon and place one jelly bean in the spoon.
    4. Carefully walk to the empty bowl and put the jelly bean in the bowl.
