I’ve had popsicles on my mind for the past week. As you remember, Mason had a huge success with her door to door lemonade stand, but there was some lemonade left. Always clever, Mason made lemonade popsicles.
We have a very cheep and simple popsicle kit at home. They are so much fun to let the little ones choose the flavor—almost any juice will work or you can easily add chopped or pulped fruit for a light and healthy treat.
If you are feeling a bit more decadent you can try a Creamy Popsicle!

One of the most wonderful things about making popsicles with kids is that it teaches patience. Unlike cookies which are best straight from the oven, popsicles teach that good things come to those who wait!
Making popsicles as a child is one of my favorite memories of home. Do you have any family favorites? I know y’all down in Australia are in the heat of summer, why not give it a try!
