Summer
Popsicles
By: Eri Akbar
This is a cool idea for summer camp! Lots of learning can take place when
children are involved in the process of preparing the popsicles. Here are some
tips:
Ice cube mould: Using this results in bigger quantities but smaller portions
that are easier for young children to handle. Simply pop in ice-cream sticks -
they may slant to the sides but it won't matter much to the little ones
because the prospect of licking the tasty treat is enough to satisfy them!
Greek yogurt: It is creamier and yummier.
Fruit combos: Pair off mangoes and pineapples, peaches and blueberries,
shredded coconut and pineapple, bananas and kiwis. Any kind of berries are
always a good mix. Remember to check for allergies first.
Add raisins: An alternative to honey to give that sweetness, especially to
balance the flavour of fruits that may be a bit sour.
