Cook and Count

Buy small yoghurt containers with bottoms that taper. Let the child remove the top and insert a plastic spoon. Freeze. When frozen hard, the child can hold by the spoon and dip into a small bowl 1/2 full of hot water. Turn the pop right side up and slide the frozen pop out. Eat over a bowl - it gets very messy! Talk about how the water in the yogurt changed shape.
