Both boys love, love, love eating frozen snacks, from ice cream to Italian ice...and they also love to make homemade frozen treats.
Well, today we decided that it would be fun to combine doing a practical life activity and making some Fab Fresh Fun treats: Milk Pops!
These are super easy and fun for children to make for themselves.
What you will need to make these pops:
A plastic container to hold the pops
Some flavored milk (We used Horizon Organic Milk Boxes in three varieties:
lowfat chocolate, lowfat strawberry, and lowfat vanilla.)
The boys got to decide what they wanted to add to their milk pops.
Big Bro chose Organic Vanilla and mini chocolate chips for both of his pops...
he selected Organic Strawberry with fresh diced strawberry pieces for his second milk pop.
What is so ideal with using Horizon Organic Milk boxes is that they are Ultra-Pasteurized so that they do not require refrigeration...this is great if you would want to make these with a classroom of children or at a party, because you could feasibly have one box per child all ready to go before starting and then, you would just pop the milk pops into the freezer to harden after everyone has made one or two pops for themselves.
Here are some photos of the boys' milk pops and then, the boys placing them into the freezer.
They really had a blast making them and cannot wait until they are hard enough to eat and enjoy!
Just good, wholesome yummy, simple, and organic!!!
Will tweet about how they turn out tomorrow...am sure they will be quite tasty though!

I was not asked to provide this recipe for milk pops by Horizon Organic Milk. We just happen to love their milk and found it to work well for this project!
