Ingredients:
1 quart fresh strawberries
1 quart fresh blueberries

1 large container whipped dessert topping
1 6oz pkg strawberry Jell-O

Directions:
Prepare Jell-O according to package directions and chill in shallow pans. This is a great opportunity for little ones to see simple directions in play – Read all the directions out loud to your child as you make it and enlisted their help with stirring.
Wash and prepare the fruit – cut the strawberries into bit sized pieces. When set, cut the Jell-O with a knife into squares. Cut the pound cake into 1″ cubes. Keeping the pound cake frozen until you're are ready to build the trifle will help it crumble less.
Layer the ingredients in a tall, clear glass bowl or trifle dish. Start with pound cake, then the berries, followed by whipped topping.
Continue to layer with the Jell-O. Red Jell-O, whipped topping, then the blue Jell-O. Depending on how deep your bowl, is continue to layer until you reach the top. This is another great opportunity to allow your kids to “build” the trifle.
