Jokari Cool-Up Pops

These days, any product labeled “reusable” has a leg up on the competition, and even more so when it comes to things for kids!

These Cool Ups pops from Jokari are an excellent example. Not only are they meant to be used again and again, but they provide a “valuable service” for moms and kids — they break up the monotony and add a little fun to a summer staple: ice cream!

They work like regular (and disposable) push-ups we all had as kids: Simply scoop your kids’ favorite ice cream into the cylinder and voila, instant fun snack! You push up on the stick/handle to move the ice cream up the tube for easier eating.

Your pops can also be customized by adding in bits of cut up fruits when scooping in the ice cream, or by using low-fat or non-fat ice creams. You could even shake things up a bit more by adding a layer of whipped cream between different ice cream flavors and then put the pops in the freezer for a few minutes to get everything to set.

You can also use them for frozen pudding pops by spooning in prepared pudding and allowing them to freeze before serving. I would imagine that letting the frozen pudding or ice cream sit at room temperature for a minute before attempting to push them up.

They come with a little storage cap so you can keep any leftovers, or you can even plan ahead by filling the pops with ice cream and storing them in the freezer for later. The pops are sold in packages of four fun, bright colors and retail for about $4.99, or in a two-pack for $3.99.
