homemade strawberry popsicles

My kids are obsessed with popsicles.  Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a sweet treat? I know growing up, I used to beg for ice cream or popsicles, or anything else that my parents would let me have. With the weather warming up (hopefully) right around the corner, I know that I need to keep our freezer stocked with fun frozen treats.

When Serenity was a baby, I got popsicle molds and tried to make popsicles for the first time. I felt so silly for not realizing how easy it was. The possibilities in how many different ways you can make homemade popsicles is endless. We typically just blend together a bunch of overripe fruit that is about to go bad and pour them into our favorite popsicle molds. It’s the perfect way to reduce waste while still having something fun and healthy.

Today, we’re sharing with your our homemade strawberry banana popsicles. These healthy popsicles have just 3 ingredients – strawberries, bananas, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. The kids loved our homemade popsicles and I loved that they were dye-free and no added sugar or other ingredients that we can’t pronounce.

Carefully pour mixture into the popsicles molds slightly under filled.  Then, put in popsicle sticks and place in freezer for six hours or overnight, until completely frozen.

Teaching to Pour + Chocolate Peanut Butter Yogurt Pops

   The Seasoned Kids

Lesson 6: Teaching to Pour

Pouring is one of those kitchen activities that makes us as parents want to gouge our eyes out. It’s cringeworthy. We want to let them have independence but standing there trying not to help them while seeing the huge potential of a disastrous mess is enough to make us reach for the anxiety meds. Am I right?

But I digress.

It’s one of the most important lessons they’ll learn while being in the kitchen.  Just take my advice and go ahead and order extra paper towels to have on hand. You may even contemplate buying stock.

How to Start

If you think about it, there’s not many recipes that you make in the kitchen that don’t require you to pour at least one thing while you are making it. We suggest you start teaching by helping them in the beginning. Letting them hold onto the milk container or pour their own juice, for example. We also started by letting our girl pour from measuring cups with our aid into larger bowls. She’s now about to be 4 and she does a really good job with minimal mess about 90% of the time. You’ll see in the video below that there’s typically always a little mess. But hey, we’re learning here folks!  Messes can get cleaned up!

Tips for teaching your kids to pour

  • Use a learning tower to get them stable at the counter
    • Standing on a stool or sitting on the counter, doesn’t stabilize kids as much as a tower will
  • Use containers with spouts on them.
  • For pouring into small openings, try using a funnel with them.
  • In the beginning, only do cold or room temperature foods, no hot liquids.
  • Always try to use lightweight containers until they have mastered the concept of pouring
  • We recommend having them pour into larger bowls in the beginning, instead of smaller ones.
    • The larger surface area reduces the risk of a mess

One thing we found super interesting from watching our older girl was that while we as adults typically pour above a container (below), it is easier for her to rest the container she’s pouring on whatever she is pouring into for added stability.

Funny Blooper Time! 

Each week, we’ll share at least one funny blooper that happened during our shoot!  The funniest thing that happened this week was when our girl accidentally put the popsicle sticks in upside down.  You can see that by watching the video above if you haven’t already!
