Lately we have had some hot days down here in Adelaide and this little house of mine can't take the heat. We have one small wall air-conditioner in the study/play room and that is it. So while this room turns into a freezer, the other rooms in the house are like saunas. Especially poor little Zoe's room - it must be the hottest room of all. I seriously don't know she manages to sleep in there on our really hot days, the air gets so thick you could cut it with a knife.
So feeling sorry for my little lady I decided to give her a little treat for dessert a week or so ago - and what better way to treat a toddler than with a frog in the pond? Nice cold jelly with a chocolate treat to boot.
Frog in the Pond
Makes 2
1 packet of jelly (either lime green or blue blueberry)
2 chocolate frogs
- Make jelly according to the directions on the packet.
- Once jelly is set divide into two bowls.
- Add a chocolate frog to each.
And since I'm sure there are many more hot summer days to come - any tips for keeping an old house cool? Or how to keep your baby and toddler cool?

How adorable and the perfect dessert for hot weather. I grew up in an unconditioned house. I couldn't do it today. Although, it is freezing cold here. Some "hot" sounds gooood to me, now!
bahahaha...I meant un-air conditioned!

I miss Fredo Frogs. This is such a cute dessert. I hope that the weather cools down soon for you.
our house is old and when the air con was on the blink I used a spray bottle of water or a wet towel over a fan to cool the air.
That jelly looks yum!!
I love frog in a pond! I made my mum make them for my birthday...that being my 23rd birthday! Yes, I am still a child at heart.
Fun idea and super cute.
If you have access to a block of ice or can make one by freezing water in a big container, you can place it in front of a fan and create your own air conditioner. Good luck beating the heat!
