Young Cocomelon fans will especially love these “cocomelon rainbow popsicles”.

The preschool kids’ show has a rainbow popsicle song that helps teach children their colors.

The song goes, “It‘s time for rainbow popsicles, Yummy yummy colorful popsicles, It‘s time for rainbow popsicles, What color do we need?”

The song then goes through the colors of the rainbow and finds fruit for each. It is super cute and the kind of song that will be stuck in your head all day long after just hearing it once.

Ingredients

For this recipe you will need:

sliced strawberries
mandarin oranges
pineapple chunks
sliced kiwi
blueberries
seedless grapes
honey

You will also need a blender, popsicle mold, and popsicle sticks.

You can use frozen, canned, or fresh fruit. However, I would recommend freezing your canned or fresh fruit before making the popsicles to help thicken the layers and prevent them from mixing.

Additions and Substitutions

Feel free to switch up the fruit in the recipe to account for allergies, preferences, or what you have on hand. Mango, raspberries, bananas, watermelon, and peaches would all be great options.
Turn these into fruit and vegetable popsicles by pairing the fruit with a vegetable of a similar color. Kale or spinach with kiwi, beets with strawberries, carrots with mandarin oranges, etc…

Instructions

In a blender, blend each frozen fruit with 2 teaspoons of honey. Repeat with each fruit, cleaning out the blender in between to help prevent colors from mixing.

Using a spoon, add a layer of each fruit to the popsicle molds in order of the colors of the rainbow:

strawberries for red
mandarin oranges for orange
pineapple for yellow
kiwi for green
blueberries for blue
grapes for purple

Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until solid, about 6-8 hours.

Tips for Making The Best Rainbow Popsicles

If you find that any of the fruit layers are too thick and not blending well, add a small amount of water to the blender to thin them out a bit. Not too much–you want the layers to be thick.
Some colors may blend together a bit, which I don’t find to be a big deal. If you want to make the color layers extra perfect you could freeze the popsicles for 1 hour between adding each layer.
Rainbow fruit popsicles won’t come out of the mold? Run the mold under warm water for 20 seconds or so to help the popsicles unstick from the sides of the mold.
