[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 237819, member: 1233"] WalMart usually only has the popsicle molds in the summer. Tupperware and Pampered Chef have them all the time I think. I got Tupperware molds at a garage sale and added to them from a thrift store. I will caution you that the popsicle molds that have the straw built into them to drink off the parts that melt are a total PITA to get clean. Jess bought a set because they looked cool and when she learned that if they were not cleaned immediately the melted stuff set like concrete and was nearly impossible to get out she threw them away. You can use paper cups (3 oz or 5 oz size) and popsicle sticks or lollipop sticks to make popsicles if you don't have a mold. Just use foil or that press and seal wrap to cover the cup and put the stick through a tiny hole you poke. Try to be sure it is sitting flat in the freezer until it is hard. Then the paper cup can just be torn off. And there is the ice cube method as taught on Schoolhouse Rock. You put koolaid (or whatever you are using - even pudding works - into an ice cube tray. Cover it iwth the press and seal wrap and put toothpicks into each cube. freeze and then just pop them out. It does help to use 2 toothpicks in each, makes a sturdier handle for kids with hand problems. [/QUOTE]
