Homemade Popsicle Making

Posted by Elece Hollis Jul 30, 2008

Hello Parents and Grands,

As the summer progresses, children seem to tire of the same old things. They start to use that awful forbidden word again--bored. Here is an idea for some nice sloppy fun mashing amd mixing in the kitchen--almost as messy as dyeing Easter eggs!

Making their own popsicles is quick and fairly simple . The children can use their imaginations to concoct wild and wonderful flavors and shapes. Orange, grape, cherry and lime can make way for orange-pineapple, peach, coconut and guava. If you have fresh fruit , canned fruits, fruit juice or jello, you are in business.

Buy popsicle molds at the dollar store or make do with plastic cups or ice cube trays. Herd those kids into the kitchen and let them play.

Your kids will have a blast and make a delightful mess making popsicles on a hot day. Let them make them last thing at night or early in the morning to allow them at least three hours to freeze.
