DIY Crafts for Kids with Popsicle

Summer is here and as a mom and grandmother I want to be a #Popsiclehero. If you want to make summer even more fun you can make these DIY Crafts for Kids with Popsicle ice pops like I did with one of my granddaughters. We had a great time and she is a great little crafter.
I can remember how excited I would get in the summer when my mom bought a box of Popsicle ice pops. It was a real treat for myself and my siblings. My favorite flavor Popsicle is cherry but I would never, ever turn down any flavor Popsicle no matter what it was. A real treat was when she bought a box of Popsicle Rocket Pops for the 4th of July.
Now there are so many new Popsicle flavors to choose from like the new Marvel AVENGERS and FROZEN ice pops. My granddaughters are the biggest FROZEN fans.
This summer you can be a Popsicle hero when you surprise the kids with a box of Popsicle Marvel’s AVENGERS or Popsicle FROZEN ice pops available at Target.
From 6/1/15 – 7/4/15 Target has a deal on Popsicle ice pops. Buy 2 boxes of Popsicle ice pops for $6.50
Be sure you save those popsicle ice pop sticks and the box so you can make this DIY Crafts for Kids with Popsicle like I did.
