Pureed Diet

The other thing my 8yo will eat, is cold soft tofu cubes. She likes them just with a little soy sauce. The "adult" way to eat it is with grated ginger and some scallions. Or you can put small cubes in some miso soup

(cold miso soup is great on a hot day).

BTW regarding jello, I dont like to eat or serve regular jello for various reasons... but it also melts when warm. If you get the HAIN Superfruits (probably in a HFS), it is made from agar agar and will not melt at room temperature. May be easier to transport for you. Its also a little healthier than jello.
