Celebrating Independence Day:
Patriotic Popsicles

What could be cooler than a Popsicle on a hot day? Why a patriotic Popsicle of course! This is a really fun recipe for the kids to try. You could also use this to discuss layering of sediment at the sea bottom and in river beds and then carry it over into a study of geology and archaeology.

Skyrocket Ice Pops

Ingredients:

12 (8 oz) plastic cups
12 craft sticks (looks like popsicle sticks)

Red Layer:
4 cups cran-raspberry juice
red food coloring

White Layer:
2 cups frozen whipped topping
2 cups vanilla yogurt

Blue Layer:
4 cups grape juice
water
blue food coloring

Directions:

1. Mix the grape juice and water until a suitable blue color results. Try adding blue food coloring to achieve the desired shade, if you are having difficulty reaching the shade you want.

2. Pour into the plastic cups filling them 1/3 full.

3. Place into the freezer until the start to freeze. Once they do, stick a craft stick in the center of each cup.

4. Freeze until solid.

5. Mix the yogurt and whipped topping together.

6. Place a layer on top of the frozen blue layer, and freeze for one hour.

7. Repeat the process given for the blue layer but do it with the cran-raspberry juice and red food coloring. Add a red layer to each cup and freeze until frozen.

8. Run the outer side of the cups under cold water to release them.

These are fun and tasty treats, not to mention healthy!
