The quickest way to becoming the favorite mom in the neighborhood? One word: Popsicles. Every kid loves them. And if you’re a culinary master (or experimenter), why not try making your own this summer? I personally have attempted and succeeded at some fab strawberry slushy popsicles. And “kitchen underachiever” is an understatement, so if I can do it, so can you. Step 1: pick up some fun popsicle molds.
The classic ring pop gets a cool makeover with the Tovolo Freezer Jewels. Each set includes six individual popsicle molds that come in fun, different gem shapes and a base that helps keep your pops in place, preventing any tips and spills while in the freezer.
Make your own push-up pops with these Kinderville silicone sleeves. The tapered design allows the popsicle to be pushed to the top to enjoy, and the fluted rim helps any residual liquid go back into the mold and not over little hands. Less mess! (Hopefully…)
