I had some left over pearlescent sugar from making
Monet’s Impressionist cupcakes. I’m not a baker, so I don’t really have any
reason to use the rest of the colorful pastel shiny sugar. It looks like
glitter, but is edible. That’s where the idea of princess pops hit me. It’s so
super-simple, but perfectly pretty and a totally tasty treat! As a bonus, the
kids get a science lesson too – experimenting with liquid to solid to liquid
transformations. You can make these any day or add them to a princess-themed birthday celebration!
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
Juice- I used two different kinds.
Cranberry strawberry juice for pink popsicles and lemonade for light yellow
ones.
·
Pearlescent sugar- You’ll find this at
the grocery store with the sprinkles and other cupcake toppers.
·
An ice cube tray- I used a plain one,
but you can try stars to make princess wands or any other shape that your child
wants.
·
Straws
·
Scissors
Here’s What to Do:
1. Cut
the straws in half. Each half will become a popsicle stick.
2. Help
your child to sprinkle the sparkly sugar into the ice cube tray compartments.
Line the bottom of each “cube” with the sugar.
3. Pour
the juice on top of the sugar. Use a straw to mix it up.
4. Ask
your child what she thinks will happen to the juice when you put it in the
freezer. Place the ice cube tray into the freezer.
5. Periodically
pull the tray out and take a look to see what’s happening. As the juice becomes
semi-solid, insert a straw half into each cube.
6. Put
the cubes back into the freezer until they are completely solid.
7. When
they’re frozen, pop the cubes out and enjoy!

What a cute idea! I love it! And I love that you are inspired by "girly" stuff even with a son. I have twin 3 year old boys who would think this activity was super awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy son said no way to it, until he tried one. It tasted good enough for him to eat. That said, I do have a more "boyish" version that I plan on posting later this week!
DeleteMy girls would love these, and I think they're adorable! :)
