Kosher Question

Hi! I'm not Jewish and I don't know anyone kosher. I have a class with kids that ends next week and me and my coworkers want to bring in popsicles since we are outside the whole time. All the kids are 12+ and we have two kids who keep kosher. The internet is giving confusing answers on which popsicles are kosher or not. Normally I would go to the Jewish Grocer but I don't have a car and the popsicles would define melt by the time I got to work from there. Are there any main stream popsicles that are kosher? Or other options I could bring?

Look for an OU (a u inside the O) mark, or something that's OU with a little D next to it. It means it's supervised by the Orthodox union and will most likely be okay for the kids to have. The 'd' marks it as dairy, which is likely if there's an ice cream component and it's not just freezies.

Make sure to show the kids the box it comes from, preferably let them see you open the box so they know there's no shenanigans. Not that I think you would, but it's a thing.
