Take it from me.

I had the brilliant idea to make popsicles with DJ today.

You know, something fun and different.

I showed him how to make them and he felt like a big boy!

Ingredients and Materials Needed:
Ice Tray
Saran Wrap
Toothpicks
Berry 100% Juicy Juice*
(1/2 part water! *ALWAYS CUT Juice with Water!*)
Blueberries
Grapes

Pour Juice/Water Mix into each Cube
Add Fruit of your choice (blueberries, grapes)
Cover Tray with Saran Wrap
Then Stick Tooth picks in and you're ready to put them in the freezer!

This is when all hell broke loose!
In my son's mind, it was time to eat the popsicles right?
WRONG! It was time to put the tray in the freezer for an hour!

Me:By the time you're up from your nap, the popsicles will be ready!
DJ: NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I want popsicles! I want popsicles!
Me: We have to let them FREEZE. We have to WAIT! (SCREECH! that's when the breakdown began)
Now why would I say the word WAIT to a toddler? *sigh*
DJ: I want my daddy! I want my daddy!
Me: Oh no he didn't just say he wanted his daddy when I thought we were having a fun time making popsicles.

Needless to say, if you think making popsicles with your toddler is a good idea, think again!

Just go and buy some Otter Pops and call it a day!

Question: Have you ever made popsicles or any fun easy snacks? Do you have any fun recipes to share?
