Ahh, the advent of silicone, it’s led to many great things. Baking and ice cube making have been taken to a whole new level with a wide array of shapes that can now be effortlessly made. This one’s for all you old-school arcade junkies.

I remember playing Space Invaders for hours on my Atari 500. Amazing how far computer graphics have come? They may not have been the most realistic looking creatures, but they certainly have a kitsch factor about them now. Share a slice of your childhood with your kids with this Ice Invaders ice cube tray, $8.50, from Sprout Home.

Freeze Your Own Baby Food With Fresh Baby

Maybe it's the economy, maybe it's food-supply fear, or maybe it's that the parents who make their own baby food just enjoy it. The common ice-cube tray is a popular and cost-effective solution to freezing batches of self-made goodies, but Fresh Baby Food Tray offers a step up. What is that step?

A lid. Each tray can freeze 12 one-ounce cubes of breast milk or food, but the real appeal is the lid that helps keep accidental spills in check. Fresh Baby also makes the food trays out of "safe" plastic, so there aren't any BPA, PVC or other scary acronyms involved. Trays will set you back $12.95 each. While that's more than an ice-cube tray, it's probably less than the dozen of tiny containers you'd need as an alternative.

What a cool way for a child to learn the alphabet! The Silicone Alphabet Letter Ice & Bake Tray Set is constructed of FDA approved silicone!

These trays can be used in the fridge, freezer and oven. Yum...I can just imagine making grape juice letter cubes.

If I had these trays I would spell out “I love mom” and put the cubes in my son's juice.

This product has been seen in Rachael Ray, Parenting, Better Homes and Gardens Magazine and Daily Candy.

Priced at $12.50. For more info visit Sillycone Inc.

Truly Bizarre Ice Cube Trays That Kids Will Probably Like

Erin Behan — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 21:14:00 GMT

I'm not totally sure what this says about my sense of humor, but I'm getting a kick out of these frozen smiles ice-cube trays. In fact, I think I'm getting $6.99 worth of fun, which is how much they cost over at Home Wet Bar. And why stop at ice, try jello, juice or anything else that goes from liquid to solid in the 'fridge or freezer. These also strike me as an appropriately bizarre addition to a Halloween party. Or just a nice way to jazz up dinner.
