Popsicles make a great treat for summertime and you can use nearly anything to make popsicles from plain juice popsicles to fruit and vegetable purees. You can even use simple popsicle molds to really get creative and have fun with nearly anything you can fit in the mold. Making your own popsicles is a great way to save on summer treats for your family.
Where can I get a popsicle mold?
Popsicle molds are seasonal items. You can often find cheap plastic molds at local dollar stores in the early spring but as the warm weather rolls in they disappear from shelves. For the best selection of quality popsicle molds, you want to shop online on sites like Amazon.
The best silicone popsicle molds
These open-face molds are one of my favorite styles. These are so much easier to get the popsicles out of and filling them evenly with things like slices of fresh fruit is so much easier so you no longer have to deal with clumps at the tip.
For layering popsicles, you need a standard upright popsicle mold. A silicon popsicle mold is so much easier to get the popsicles out of than the hard plastic ones that we used to have as kids that almost never let go of your popsicle without first melting much of it.
The best fun and creative popsicle molds
These dino pops are so cute and perfect for the dinosaur lover. You can use this mold to make fun treats for the kids. Mix and match the bases with the holders for unique dinos. Pair this snack with a Dinosaur unit study or this Prehistoric Dirt playdough.
The best popsicle molds for toddlers
The shape of this tiny popsicle mold is perfect for little mouths and the handle is designed to be easy to grip for babies and toddlers. This popsicle mold can even be used to make breastmilk popsicles for your teething little one.
The best stainless steel popsicle molds
Stainless steel popsicle molds are great because the outer mold and remove from the stand after they are frozen to store more easily in the freezer and the popsicles are easy to warm just enough to remove from the molds quickly without having to wait with impatient children. Due to the cold condition qualities of stainless steel, these molds freeze faster as well.
This set allows you to make popsicles in bulk fairly quickly with its 10 pop mold.
This set makes 6 popsicles at once. You can use the handles that come with them or the alternate seals to allow you to use traditional popsicle sticks so you can make more popsicles by rotating them out.
