You can make a Popsicle mold with objects you have at home
Popsicle trays can be any type of vessel that will hold a liquid and stay freezer-safe. Instead of purchasing a mold from the store, you can create your own Popsicle mold at home using clean containers that may otherwise be thrown away. You can use the opportunity to add chopped fruit and other healthy ingredients to make a healthy snack for your kids.
Instructions
1. Make a mold with paper cups. Pour your flavored liquid into small paper cups and cover each one with a piece of cling wrap.
2. Poke a Popsicle stick through the top of the cling wrap, which will hold the sticks up until the Popsicles freeze. Place the cups in the freezer until the Popsicles are completely frozen, which takes three to four hours.
3. Hold the Popsicle by the handle and tear off the paper cup for eating.
4. Make a yogurt container Popsicle mold. Pour the liquid into a clean, single-serving yogurt container.
5. Cover the tops of the yogurt containers with cling wrap and poke a Popsicle stick through the center of each one. Allow them to harden in the freezer.
6. Remove the popsicle from the yogurt container by holding it in your hands for one or two minutes, which will free the sides of the container from the Popsicle. Pull out the Popsicle by the stick.
7. Make mini Popsicles using an ice cube tray. Fill an ice cube tray with liquid. Cover the tray with cling wrap and place a toothpick in the center of each cube.
8. Place the tray in the freezer. When the mini Popsicles are frozen, flex the tray and the Popsicles will pop out.
