I've bought some at Target and seen them at various drugstores...Tupperware and Pampered Chef make them too.

BTW - they're called "ice tups" on ebay, if you're looking for tupperware. I've found the dollar store ones, but they don't work quite as well for me.

I have the ones from Tupperware and the generic ones from Target. I much prefer the ones from Target. The Tupperware molds have a lid that snaps on, it's really hard to snap the lids on without spilling the liquid in the cups.

I've always just used dixie cups & craft sticks. We bough a super sized package of the dixie cups from Sam's Club, man, probably 6 years ago & still haven't run out. We use them for Popsicles, painting & other crafts even. Or you could just use ice cube trays & make them smaller.

I've re-used single serve yogurt cups that way.

Also we used mini muffin tins a few weeks ago for them. The silicone ones. (I no longer have a set of popsicle molds...decluttered them in the move from Florida. They're awkward to store and we didn't use them much. But now I'm sort of coveting ice tups. I'd really rather have silicone ones, not plastic, and something that stores compactly. I like that the tupperware ones, you can pull out of the tray and store individually in the freezer, but it seems like a ton of pieces, plus it's plastic and I'm trying not to buy plastic.)
