They needed to be upright for the best results, but at 19cm, they need a tall freezer shelf or drawer. Fun and functional, these ice lolly moulds fit in even a tiny ice box easily and bring a pop of fun along the way. The packaging offers up loads of exciting flavour ideas, including chocolate-dipped lollies – a revelation! Once frozen you can remove the moulds from the stand and then put them anywhere you like in your freezer, which makes accommodating them a bit easier.

NUK Annabel Karmel by Ice Lolly Set - Netmums Reviews

We absolutely loved these fun fruity pops, and we found they encouraged us to be more creative in our ice lolly adventures.The fact one can be taken out alone means it’s easy to remove your frozen creation using hot water, too. The award winning Annabel Karmel by NUK Ice Lolly Set is perfect for soothing sore gums during teething. These ticked all the boxes for our little taste testers: space-themed, colourful, and with room to stick some fresh fruit inside. Because they create popsicles that are shaped more like Calippos, rather than your traditional lolly-on-a-stick, these are better suited for older children and not babies or young toddlers (in fact, Sunnylife says they’re ideal for children aged 12 and over, although we’re sure that kids under that age will love them, too). KitchenCraft deluxe lolly block maker is a sturdy piece of kit with 8 plastic moulds and individual covers, a tray to keep the mould upright in the freezer, and 16 wooden lolly sticks to get started with.

Despite the intricate barley-sugar twist on these chunky lollies, they came out cleanly with every detail intact. What’s lovely about these for weaning babies, particularly those who are teething, is you can fill them with breast milk for a soothing and nutritious treat they’ll love – or you can just stick to purees and smoothies, of course.Flat handles with rubber grips mean the four lollies you can make in this mould are a lot easier to handle than some of those made in other moulds, and the lollies themselves are a classic rounded shape that’s simple to eat. Although it’s a little more expensive than some moulds, and is quite tall (you’ll need to use a big freezer drawer), this mould is a winner.
