Would you rather a mini milk or a mini ice lolly - for reception children as a class treat on a sunny day

in terms of practicality (meltiness, mess etc) - everyone would like them that kind of thing.

No allergies or dietary requirements in the class. Images so there's no confusion about what I mean.

They melt FAST in an ice-box. We do Aldi's eezy freezy ice pops. They are 13 calories each and not a lot in them beside fruit juice.

Team mini milk here, but ALLERGIES

Vanilla mini milks are the best ones imo.

I’ve got some ice poles for my reception children.

I just ate a chocolate mini milk. No DC I just like them as a treat. I have a ton of vanilla ones left though! I wish they made a box of just strawberry and chocolate.

Need some sort of mini milk exchange, I only like the plain ones.

Can you get a pack of all the same flavour?

That way they won't argue and turn a treat into an upset.

Top tips:

Open the bag & lay flat to freeze - especially if you only have a day to freeze them.
Bag up the same flavours into separate freezer bags, then you can get the right flavour quickly & know when you’ve run out of a flavour.
Hands down the most popular flavours are Blue Raspberry & Cola Slush Puppies ice poles.
occasionally we’ll have a glut of usually orange ice poles & then we make everyone have one before we replenish the stock (baring allergies of course).
Have scissors on hand to cut the tops off; cut in a horseshoe shape to avoid cut mouths on sharp corners.
Have kitchen roll on hand if needed to wrap the lolly. & a bin.

I'd rather have a mini milk, but for young kids I'd get lollies so as not to single out anyone with dairy allergies.

GreenPinkYellowOrange · 29/04/2025 17:36

Either but now off to buy myself a box of mini milks!

BrendaSmall · 29/04/2025 17:38

So many children with allergies/intolerances, I’d say fruit would be better for all

CarpetKnees · 29/04/2025 17:54

I'd get 2 boxes of each, then everyone should be able to have one they both like and aren't allergic to.

Mini milk as will possibly stain clothing less than the bright coloured fruit juice lollies.

Moonlight222 · 29/04/2025 17:57

Is personally pick fruit only because there are children in my class that have milk allergy so they’d miss out

Fruit lollies went in today, they went down a treat. Teachers had some too : D
