Pin ItBanana Bear Pudding 4

I keep seeing banana pudding on Pinterest that uses the typical vanilla wafer cookies.  And don’t get me wrong; it looks yummy!  But I thought it would be more fun for the kids if we used some teddy bear graham crackers instead.  Oh, and we sweetened up the pudding a bit, too! 

 

Banana Bear Pudding

Here’s what you’ll need:

Banana Bear Pudding 1

  • a few bananas
  • one package of instant vanilla pudding
  • about a cup of milk (we used fat free)
  • one container of cool whip
  • a few handfuls of teddy bear graham crackers

Banana Bear Pudding 2

  1. Have your little one practice their cutting skills by using a dull butter knife to slice up the bananas.
  2. In a bowl, whip together the pudding mix and the milk until smooth.
  3. Fold 3/4 of the tub of cool whip (leaving the remaining cool whip for garnish) into the pudding mixture.
  4. Layer the graham crackers, pudding mixture, and bananas (repeating as needed) into a serving dish or glass cup. 
  5. Garnish top with whipped cream and a teddy bear!

Banana Bear Pudding 3
The kids LOVED making this yummy dessert.  And they could make almost all of it themselves.  I only needed to help make sure the pudding and cool whipped were sufficiently combined. 
What have you been cooking with your little ones lately?

    Hi Krissy! I love this idea! I am writing a guest blog for cutiepieclothes.com on getting kids in the kitchen. Would you mind if I use a picture and description of your recipe? Of course I will give you the credit and include a link to your page.
    Thank you!

    This is such a cute idea with the bears! My daughter loves making parfaits. This would be a cute one to add to our Bear Lesson with Little Hands that Cook with Books. http://theeducatorsspinonit.blogspot.com/2011/09/little-hands-that-cook-with-books-teddy.html

    Yay! Easy and tasty (well, it looks tasty). My 5-y-old will love making this. Hmm. Will have to think what glass to let them use rather than my wine glasses (ha).

      I know – haha! The kids layered theirs in plastic bowls. I just layered mine in the glass to give myself a visual treat, too! 🙂
