Product Description
Enjoy some icy treats using these Tovolo Popsicle Molds (set of 6). These popsicle molds are larger than most so there''s more popsicle to enjoy! The base is designed so that you can easily remove popsicles individually and it also keeps popsicles from tipping and spilling in your freezer. The mold handles are designed to catch drips as you eat so juices don''t run down your arm. The plastic sleeves of each mold are insulated so you can set them out on your table and enjoy them at the end of the meal without worrying about melting! Sold as a set of 6. Instructions included.

Encourage kids to aim high while serving them healthy juice snacks with Tovolo's green shooting star molds. Simply fill the six stars with favorite beverages, attach the handles, and set them upright on their custom tray in the freezer. Because the molds are individually cast, it's easy to serve one or all six at a time and to prepare assorted flavors. Built-in drip guards also keep clothes and hands clean--now that'll make mom smile. Crafted of durable plastic with a cheerful lime hue, the molds offer a fresh, summertime look that can be enjoyed again and again. The entire set measures 7-1/2 by 5 by 8 inches. --Kara Karll

 awesome August 23, 2010

Love these. Homemade popsicles let you put whole chunks of real fruit in with 100% fruit juice, not just sugar water, like store bought popsicles. Child can create own flavors. No mess because each popsicle has it's own little container. You can even slip the popsicle back in he holder when your kid can't eat it all- no waste. Great shape. Highly recommend. run under a little warm water to release popsicle from holder.

My petite 19mo loves her yogurt popsicles. Good, coz she hates any milk and getting more calcium in her is one of my goals for now. I was worried that the results might be too big for her to handle but I was surprised when it's only slightly larger than the regular store bought ones. If she doesn't eat them fast enough, it does get a bit tiring for her to hold. I notice it when she lowers them down on the high chair tray between bites. So I just place it on her other hand. I can imagine it getting really heavy if fruit is added in the pops. She can finish the whole thing about 90% of the time depending on the flavor.
Making yogurtsicles is very easy, too. One Yoplait container yields two. I use a cup with a pouring lip for less mess and a 2 tsp water to keep it flowing. I'm thinking about taking a couple of molds to my visit to Florida. Makes for a more healthful snack for her.
As for freezing, I don't use the star-shaped holder because of the lack of freezer space. Therefore I just use the long and slim Dove Ice Cream Bars box. It fits five of them upright in a neat line on one side of my fridge. They keep themselves upright.
I love the holes in the stems to prevent the pops from slipping out when ready to take out and eat. Just dunk the whole thing in warm water for a few seconds, and her "opseeh-cles" are ready.
The drip catcher doesn't really catch the drips. At 19 months I expect the mess anyway and just give her the washable bib everytime she eats popsicles. I keep her confined to the high chair for it, too.
 Difficult to suck July 8, 2010

I was very excited to order these popsicle molds after reading all the positive reviews. They are very easy to make and look lovely. Eating them is another story! A popsicle should fit comfortably in any size mouth and I'm a woman with a very average size mouth. The popsicle was too big and has too many ridges to allow you to suck it...you never have enough surface area in your mouth at one time to melt any of the juice! It's not what you expect from a popsicle at all! I now know that a popsicle needs smooth sides, not ridges...it doesn't work for me at all and it drips!
The "cuteness" is deceptive: dribbles everywhere & not at ALL fun to eat. July 8, 2010

As another reviewer noted, it's seemingly impossible to eat these without dripping ridiculously all over oneself. Most (if not all) people tilt a popsicle towards themselves to eat it rather than holding it perfectly vertical & still. The way this drip-tray is made, the juice accumulates & then spills over the side while you're attempting to enjoy your pop, & it dribbles all over you periodically. If there was a feasible way to suck the juice out of the drip tray to prevent the dribbles, I'd give it another point -- but short of whipping out a straw to periodically suck your popsicle juice from the tray, there is no solution to this design flaw. Popsicles are supposed to be fun, not high-maintenance! Add to that the horrible design -- the star shape looks cute, the molds are easy to fill, yada ya - but none of that matters much in my book if you don't have an enjoyable, chilly treat at the end. Nothing enjoyable about this eating experience. The shape itself is awfully big for even some adult mouths, and the ridges/points of the star make it impossible to "latch" on & actually suck on your popsicle. A totally unsatisfying experience & waste of money.
Great product, great service July 6, 2010

I am very pleased with our shooting star pop molds, at first I was a little concerned that they were too big(about 1/3c per mold) but decided to purchase them because they were the only molds I could find that were BPA free, but my kids handle them just fine (3 and 4 years old) I primarily fill them with yogurt smoothies and on rare occasions chocolate milk.
To release the mold I just run warm water on them for a few moments, or roll them between my hands for a little bit, on a hot day this really takes hardly any time at all. I have never had a problem.
I was so disappointed when one day one of the mold sheathings fell down in the dishwasher and the heating element melted a hole into it. In hope of replacing the single mold I called the Tovolo customer service number I found on the website and left a message asking how I could order a replacement. That same day someone called me back requesting my address, because they had found an extra that was just hanging around the office and wanted to ship it out to me at no charge! Thanks for the great customer service Tovolo! I am very satisfied and would definitely recommend your product to others.
