Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Tovolo Star Ice Pop Molds, Set of 6, Green
Customer Review: Great Posicle Molds!
Summary: 4 Stars
All summer we have been making popsicles in my Micky Mouse molds by Tupperware. Homemade popicles can be much healthier than those bought in stores and you can add lots of healthy ingredients without the kids even knowing! My kids love homemade popsicles and I wanted something a little more fun than the original one that I purchased. These molds are really great. The molds are a fun "star" shape. However, keep in mind that they are large. So if you are looking for something for younger toddler aged children I wouldn't recommend this item. If you are looking for something smaller I would recommend the jewel shaped molds that Tovolo makes (I purchased those as well). Also, the popsicles don't slide out really easily but if you run them under warm water for a few seconds that will do the trick it. As long as you only do it for 10 seconds it won't melt the posicle, but rather just make it loose enough to slide out without needing the strength of three people to help you get it out! :)Customer Review: Starry-eyed wonder

At least on the faces of the children you hand these to. Not only can they help make up their own popsicles (from real fruit and juices!), but they're rather large. As yet, my nine year old has not finished an entire one, although they're the right size for adult use. The best part is their separation as individual units. You can make six different flavors, or eat a few, clean and refill them, and have an endless supply of pops available when needed as a quick and cold treat. They're extremely easy to use, just make sure you have a flat space in your freezer to stand them upright, so they don't spill while solidifying.
So far we've made two kinds of pops since we got them:
Honeydew Pistachio pops made with fresh honeydew, cream, honey, and crushed, raw pistachios.
Tropical Paradise pops made with coconut milk, mangos, pineapple, bananas, and peaches with a touch of agave syrup. Yum!
Customer Review: One star off for design flaw.

These popsicle molds are very cute and make cool star-shaped popsicles. I've had no trouble getting the popsicles out of the molds. The box recommends squeezing the tube slightly or running it under warm water, both of which really help. However, the aptly named drip tray is too shallow. Melted liquid accumulates and pours out of it after a while. You're substituting several small drips for one big one. Not a huge issue, but annoying. The only other thing is that it does take up a lot of room in the freezer (see the dimensions). Overall, I'm happy with them. The stand makes them easy to fill and they could be taken out of it when frozen for better storage ease. Maybe the drippy issue won't be a problem once this summer heat wave is over. Plus, it's great to make my own popsicles and leave out all the funky additives and coloring that are in commercial brands.Customer Review: Good quality Molds but to huge for a kid!
Summary: 4 Stars
Good molds, but TOO big for a 3 to 5 years old kid. Did I say too big, no I would say gigantic, huge, whatever you think it is, but not fit for a 5 years old kids and below.
I've been looking for small molds like the size I saw they made popsicle in the market but can't. In general, quality is good but size is matter. Too big for a kid to handle it. I don't know why when they design these molds, they did not test on kids to see if they can handle it or not. I must have to put them on shelf for now to wait for my daughter get to 10 or 20, then I might use them again. :(
I bet ya if they have smaller molds, they will be run out of order FAST than they can imagine as so many people I've been reading their comments about those molds.
I wait until I find the small size and order again. Minus one start for the HUGE size!
Customer Review: Love these
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought 4 sets of these star pop molds last month. At first when they came I realized how big the star tray was that you set the pops in, taking up huge amounts of freezer space since I make 4 sets at a time. After they were frozen though I realized all I needed to do was take them out of the tray and store them laying flat inside the freezer, taking up hardly any room at all. A wonderful bonus is that when a kid wants a pop I only have to run the ONE pop under warm water to get it out of the mold. All of my other pop molds that I have bought over the years I am always running warm water over the whole tray of pops trying to get out just one or two at a time. Overall I love these pop molds!
