Here’s an easy way to make pop cycles that they will love but control the sugar at the same time.

You will need plastic spoons, sugar-free cool aide and small (3 oz.) plastic cups. Make the cool aide according to the instructions on the package, pour into the cups and place in the freezer. When the mixture gets mushy, insert a plastic spoon in the center. Continue to freeze until frozen solid.

A lot of the drink packages now come in individual size so you can mix up several packs using different flavors instead of using the 2 qt. size and give the kids a choice of flavor.
