Mom Hack Come-True: Fidget Toy Makeover is a game-changer for keeping little hands busy and engaged.

As moms, we’re always on the lookout for simple, creative solutions to make life easier, and this DIY fidget toy transformation is one of those genius ideas.

Whether it’s repurposing old toys, customizing them with fun colors, or turning everyday household items into sensory-friendly gadgets, this hack will keep your little one entertained while giving their favorite fidget toys a fresh new look.

Let’s dive into this easy and fun makeover idea that every mom will love!

The best part is employing your little one's favorite Fidget toy to make the perfect frozen yogurt pops that he or she absolutely falls for.

What You Need and How to Make It

First, the resource we need is all your little one's fidgets or maybe his or her favorite one.

We are going to use the fidget toy that he or she usually plays with and turn it into a yogurt mold.

I used a Moonkie butterfly fidget toy, but you can pick yours at your convenience.

Second, pick your baby's favorite flavored Greek-style yogurt. I recommend peach, blueberry, and strawberry, which are such a delight to my baby's appetite.

Last but not least, a snack cup to serve frozen yogurt pops for your baby to grab and enjoy.

How To Make These Frozen Yogurt Pops

Here’s how to make these frozen yogurt pops:

1. Clean the fidget toy you’re going to use as a mold as it will be in contact with the yogurt, make sure it’s thoroughly clean. Place the toy on a flat surface like a baking sheet, which makes it easier to move into the freezer.

2. Pour the yogurt into the fidget toy. It comes out better looking with yogurt spreading out evenly in each pop. For added flavor, small pieces of fruit like strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices on top will be a delight.

3. Let the fidget sit in the refrigerator for 4+ hours until the yogurt is fully frozen and shaped into pops.

4. Remove the pops from the fidget and ta-daaaaah! The butterfly pops are just adorable! Serve it in the snack cup and pretty sure your little one can't stop grabbing a bite.

Baby Bonding Activity

This snacktivity is also a fun baby bonding process. Getting your little one involved in every step, for example, pressing the fidget and waiting for the yogurt to freeze, will give them a sense of anticipation. It can also help with the baby's hands-on and communication ability.
