dripstick.jpgline.jpgThe Dripstik was invented so that both you and your child can enjoy the simple pleasures of a popsicle or an ice cream on a hot day without the mess. My 2 year old daughter absolutely loves holding her popsicle in the Dripstik (it comes in 4 kid-friendly colours) and I was pleasantly surprised not to have to hose down the balcony once she was done. Small enough to pack in a diaper bag (stuff it in a plastic bag so you can bring it home sans mess) visit dripstik.com for more information and to get one of your own.
