Silicone Popsicle Molds / Ice Pop Maker - Multi Color, Set of 6 with Lids - (Bright ) .. By Sunsella

Obviously simple, easy to use, and the kids love it.These are silicone molds, which means they resist heat and cold very well, which means the little one's hands don't get so cold holding them, and they go in the dishwasher as well. The dishwasher is sort of a necessity for these especially if you don't have a brush to clean the inside out. That should be noted, that these really do require a brush to clean out the narrow spaces and prevent gunk.The tops fit quite snug and help prevent spills, but please note these are not spill/leak proof! You can't just carry them around casually and assume it'll hold the seal.The only minor quibble is that to freeze them, they should be upright, but don't come with any sort of holder. You can buy holders separately, or just use a couple mugs to hold them upright. I'd have happily paid a couple more dollars for a simple plastic holder.Net net, these are wonderful, especially if you want to control exactly what you're feeding your kids when it comes to pops. We use organic juices or yogurts and fruit chunks for ours, and it comes out cheaper than buying inferior quality stuff at the market.

So our son was born a little over a year ago and it was both my wife and my first child. When we entered the world of teething, it left us trying every gadget and doo-dad known to man in order to ease his pain. One day I was eating a store bought popsicle and let him have some and he fell in love. It eased his pain and numbed his gums. Perfect, but I was not going to feed my newborn popsicles full of crap and sweeteners from the store.I found these and feel they work pretty well and am able to put exactly what I want in them. I was able to stand them all up in a  Ziploc Twist 'N Loc Medium Round Container . My go-to recipe follows:-Small Tub of Whipped Topping-3/4 to 1 cup milk (may need to up milk if too thick)-1 to 1 1/2 cups fruit of your choice (have used strawberries, blueberries and mango) (frozen fruit will make it thicker when blending)-sweeten to taste (I use a tablespoon or 2 depending on the sweetness of fruit used) with maple syrup, honey or agave (kiddo is okay without, but adults may want it sweeter)-blend until smooth-fill moldsThis will fill more than just 6 molds, so I actually bought a second set. Using 3/4 cup milk and 1 cup fruit, I filled 8 molds and if you up either ingredient, you can fill a few more. Now when I get down to 1 or 2 popsicles, I can whip up a new batch so we are never without our new favorite treat!I have noticed that some odors can get absorbed when washing in the dishwasher, so I will probably stick to hand washing or try baking soda or vinegar to get the odors out. Its not extreme, but I did notice it in a couple of them. Didn't keep me from buying another set!IMPORTANT: Do your own research regarding what sweeteners you can give your children under 1-years old. Its a pretty common recommendation that you NOT give honey to children under one. The jury is out on maple syrup and agave.

I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews but I am so glad I bought these! We only received them a few days ago and they have already paid for themselves. Our kids and their friends have been eating ice pops like crazy. They love the silicone colors and not getting their hands so cold (not to mention the tenderness in the corners of their mouth from plastic encased pops). I like them because they are easy to use, dishwasher safe, and if an ice pop is dropped or left to melt, I'm only out a wee bit of money.When we first got them, they did have a scent to them. I did a hand wash and then threw them in the dishwasher. After that, no scent! Maybe I just got lucky.

I bought these to make yogurt sticks or frozen yogurt pops for my 3 year old daughter. I love the look and feel of the molds, they are made of a good solid material and the color is beautiful. They are fairly easy to use but I have to provide some instruction to my daughter while using them to prevent messes (but that is more toddler related than product related). The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because they should come with a stand and they don't which is NOT FUN when trying to get things to set. I have to stand them in-between the racks in the freezer. They make you buy the stand separate which I DO NOT LIKE. Other than that, no issues.

I purchased these molds because I don’t have much free space in my freezer and these looked like they could be stashed anywhere. They’re sturdy and easy to clean.

If you have a wide nose bridge like me, these are unbearable after just a few minutes. Some hard and kind of sharp plastic edges squeeze into the sides of your nose. I thought someone mentioned they were good for big noses, but not mine that's for sure. Leaked some, I think because of not being able to seal because of same reason. The design could have easily omitted those edges to allow these to fit more people. But also the issue many others have stated... function as great sunglasses out of water, but under water super blurry. Returned, full refund. Appreciated the good customer service. PS friend gave me some FLUIDIX Split racing goggles... also available on Amazon, twice the price but SO great for wide nose!

These are fun and work well but take a long time to freeze and are extremely difficult to clean, especially if you use any fruit with seeds in the popsicles. Strawberries and other raspberries make them particularly difficult to clean as the little seed particles stick to the silicone and do not come off easily, even in the dishwasher. I'm sure it would be easier to clean these if we just used juice or other liquids in them, but I purchased them so I could make healthy, fruit and and vegetable based frozen treats. Not as convenient as I had hoped for.

Not a fan, they are quite flimsy
