Notes

Popsicle Stick: Insert a popsicle stick into each banana half, leaving enough length for the kid to hold comfortably.

Banana: Use ripe but still firm bananas. Overripe bananas can be too soft and may cause the popsicle stick to slip out, making it harder and messier for the kid.

Freeze: Arrange bananas on a lined tray, ensuring they have sufficient space and don't touch each other during freezing.

Minimise Mess: Hold dipped bananas over a plate or a tray while adding the toppings to catch any drips. This helps minimise the mess and makes cleanup quicker.
