My little bros l o v e those red, white and blue popsicles. You know the ones that have NO taste. So for the Fourth of July, I decided to make them red, white and blue pops, but ones that tasted delicious! Popsicles are pretty easy to make, they just require a little patience and a little something to wipe up the drips, that inevitably come. Thankfully for that, I have Brawny® Tear-A-Square™ paper towels – a premium white paper towel that has a unique quarter sheet size option with 256 quarter sheets per roll. Which is perfect because I have little people who make a lot of little messes. Brawny Tear-A-Square provides a smaller sheet size option for your smaller tasks so that your roll can last longer. I mean, how cool is that?!?

Make sure to stock up on these delightful three-sizes-fit-all-needs paper towels the next time you’re at Target! Which we all know will be later today…

I made my guys these popsicles (I have the recipe below for you!) but aside from getting my kids to eat a yummier version of a red, white and blue pop, the best thing was giving them a quarter of a paper towel when they ate them! It was the perfect size to catch all their fruit drips.

Not only are these pops the perfect thing for a hot Fourth of July, but these Brawny Tear-A-Square, because they offer three sheet size options in each paper towel roll – full sheet, half sheet and quarter sheet – you can use just what you need without the waste. There is no guilt of using a full or half sheet paper towel when only a quarter sheet is needed for your smaller tasks.
I used a quarter of a sheet to catch their drips for the boys while they were eating their popsicles, and a half sheet to wipe their faces. There’s nothing like being able to pick the size of your paper towel for the mess at hand! Grab a pack at Target and grab the stuff you need to make a few red, white and blue pops while you there!
