The easiest, safest, least sticky popsicle maker of all time
Pity my children, for popsicles were once merely a thing of legend. You see, we have a saying at our house: Sticky is icky. That means that Mommy can't handle juice, yogurt, smushed bananas, or children covered in any and all of the above.

But now, it's okay.  We're cool.
The Little Bites Popsicle Molds from Kinder-Ville are the easiest, tidiest popsicle molds I've ever seen or used, and they've totally changed my mind about frozen treats. They're made of soft, durable silicone that's guaranteed free of BPA, phthalates, and lead, and they're dishwasher safe. And I love them.
Here's what I do: cut open a juice box, pour a quarter of it into each pop mold, add water to the fill line, pop in the soft silicone top, and stand them up in the freezer. (Of course this doesn't require juice boxes.) The next day, we have not-too-sugary pops that are virtually mess-free.

The kids squeeze the pop up as they eat, and all the juice is caught in the bottom, which they drink. Then they walk back inside, proclaim their cleanliness, and demand another pop. No sticks, no cracking plastic, no fighting the pop mold, no hand washing, no fancy machine for one of us to break. 
Now I'm just curious about what would happen if I poured some margarita mix in there after they're asleep. Sticky is icky, but clean and yummy is good for mummy.~Delilah
