Jell-O Play boxes are here: As if kids needed more excuses to play with their food.

Leave it to Jell-O to give kids even more incentive to watch it wiggle, see it jiggle, generally play with their gelatin-based food products in the cutest way ever -- a brand new new set of six Jell-O Play boxes just launched today. CMP is an rstyle affiliate There are two LEGO-esque construction kits with building block molds that I imagine will be wildly popular. Especially with those reusable building block trays that easily turn even craft-deficient parents into Pinterest treat board gurus. Two Jell-O Play cookie cutter kits include cookie cutters in themes like jungle animals and sky -- which comes with Berry Blue gelatin packets plus cutters shaped like a kite, a cloud, an eagle, and...a sun. Maybe grab some lemon Jell-O for that last one? So perfect for camp or school lunches! Jello-O Play: A new line of edible play kits for kids like this LEGO-esque construction kit | Cool Mom Eats Jello-O Play: A new line of edible play kits for kids like this Ocean kit kids can build | Cool Mom Eats Bonus: At Target, you can find 3 different exclusive Jurassic World themed Jell-O Play boxes with "ferocious" cutters. (That rescue worker sure does look scary!

It's hard to stay. But even repackaging pudding as edible mud seems like a clever idea. Not that kids generally need any sort of marketing spin to finish their chocolate pudding.

(The Target selection is just $3.99-4.99, so if you have dino lovers in the house your'e in luck. I know that relative to regular old $.99 Jell-O boxes that's a lot. The good thing is, once you've got those cool molds or cutters, just add your own gelatin. In fact, I'm sure you're kids will be asking to do that a lot.
