Halloween Fun for a Rainy Day

To get in the Halloween spirit, Rachel and I decided to make “Halloween Pops” with the kids yesterday. “Pops” are just bananas on a stick the are coated in peanut butter and then rolled in the topping of your choice (a healthier version is made with granola or cheerios, but we opted for Halloween sprinkles because they are just so much more fun). Then you just put the Pops in the freezer and have a frozen treat ready to eat! Mommies love them too! I came up with the “Pop” idea for Madeline because she always wants to eat popsicles and I hate how messy and unhealthy they are for her. Plus, she LOVES helping me make them and can be involved in every step! We just pulled some chairs up to the kitchen counter and let them have at it. The kids had a blast assembling their Pops! I’m pretty sure their favorite part was the sprinkles and both took a bite out of each of their Pops along the way, but they were so cute and had so much fun – plus there was very little cleanup! What a fun rainy day activity! Happy Halloween!
