Cool kids off in the summer sun with frozen, healthy treats that they can help make!  These frozen treats are fun and easy.  Here’s three simple ideas.

BANANA POPS
Try banana pops!  It couldn’t be easier, here’s how:  Peel a banana, cut it in half, insert a popsicle stick, cover and freeze.

WATERMELON STARS
For a fun themed snack have kids use cookie cutters to make shapes, like stars, out of watermelon and then freeze them for a refreshing treat.  By the way, these are also great for a teething toddler.  Sit the watermelon in the kitchen sink, this gives you more leverage and contains the juice from running all over the countertop.  Using a chef’s knife, cut the watermelon lengthwise to make rounds.

GRAPE POPPERS
For older kids, put grapes in to the freezer the night before for a cool on-the-go snack the next day!  Wash, then freeze the grapes for one hour on a cookie sheet.  When frozen, transfer to a glass freezer container.  Make it easy for kids to grab a handful and pop them into their mouths for a cool bite on a hot day.
