What to do
Cut the fruit into small pieces., decide which sweets and fruit to use and then place them in the bottom of each cup. Chose either yoghurt or juice. Pour the yogurt or juice into the cup, it needs to cover the sweet or fruit and come nearly to the top of the cup. Put them in the freezer. After around an hour the lollies should have started to freeze and become slushy, place a lollipop stick into the middle of each cup and return to the freezer for a further 2 hours. The lollipops will now be ready to eat!
Talking points
When deciding which fruit to use, name them. Talk about what colours the sweets are. Count with the sweets as you add them to the cups.
Talk about when they may have had ice lollies before – for example at a party or at the seaside.Talk about ice lollipops being cold
You could decorate the cups beforehand.
You could make an ice cream parlour out of big boxes and play shops
