These lollipop cookies would be so much fun to make with the kiddos.  My kids love to roll out snakes with playdough so this is the perfect activity for them.  This would also be a great end of year gift to hand out to classmates.  Thanks to The Idea Room for the recipe!

Here’s what you need to make these:

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 3 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•  2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
•  1/4 teaspoon salt
• assorted colors of paste food coloring
• 24 lollipop sticks

This idea comes from one of my favorite sites, Kraft Recipes.  These watermelon pops would be so fun to make with the kiddos.  There is lots of stirring and pouring to do so even the little ones have ways to help.

Here’s what you need to make these:

• 1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Lime Flavor Gelatin
• 2 cups boiling water, divided
• Ice cubes
• 1 cup cold water, divided
• 1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin
• 3 Tbsp. miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 pkg. (4 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
• 1-1/2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
• Dixie Cups
• Popsicle Sticks

These look delicious and make the perfect summer treat!  What kid wouldn’t enjoy assembling these?  Even making the “taco shells” is fun.  Just try not to eat too much cookie dough!
