I just love the idea of throwing a shark party with an outdoor projector. Play the movie Jaws and serve all kinds of fun shark goodies. Like shark ice cream, shark Frappuccino’s, and these shark beach jello shots. How fun would that be!

Could also stream the Shark Week episodes in the backyard and have a picnic as well. It would be a good way to learn about sharks and make it fun with the family. I love the education of sea life. It’s so important.

Shark Jello Shot Tips and Tricks:

First a few tips on how to make these jello shots. I bought the blue shark gummies on amazon as these are larger gummies. Second make sure to let the jello cool a little before adding it to the cups with the sharks so it doesn’t melt their tails off.

These set up pretty fast in the fridge. The jello shots will set within 4 to 6 hours. Although I like to let them full set overnight for the best results. For the graham crackers use regular or gluten free to make the sand on top.
