๐Ÿช„ Wizard's tip

Make them the night before a hot day, so they're ready the minute everyone's cranky at 3pm.

How to do it

  1. Wash and chop the fruit.
  2. Blend, or drop pieces into moulds.
  3. Top up with juice or yoghurt.
  4. Add sticks and freeze.
  5. Eat the next day.

Younger kids: Use pre-cut fruit and let them drop pieces into the moulds.

Older kids: Make rainbow layers: freeze one layer at a time over the afternoon.

โš  Safety Adults handle knives and the blender.
