If your kids are anything like mine they spent most of last summer crying that their hands were too cold when eating their otter pops or go-gurts. Or you have tough kids who are just happy for a treat. My sisters solution was to give them rags to wrap around the ice cold treat. Towards the end of the summer I stumbled across an even better solution.
For each of my girls I made hooded towels for birthday presents last year. Also on each one I cut a small section off the hand towel for the hood. I hate throwing things away so they sat in my craft room for a few months. As the summer wore on and my girls continued to ask for something to save their hands from their icies I found in my craft room a solution. The left over pieces of towel were the perfect size to fold up and sew into otter pop pockets. So that is what I did and here is the result! They work for otter pops and go gurts and any cold treat this size. My girls each have their own and I don't have to worry about cold fingers. Now if I can just find some way for the treat to pop out of the plastic on its own so I don't have to help them squeeze it out!
