The item includes one tray in each of the following colors: blue, green and orange. Each tray yields mini ice cubes in different shapes and quantities as follows: blue/11 stars, green/15 rectangles and orange/15 rounds. A gentle push of the flexible bottom side of the tray allows the ice cubes to easily pop out. The trays can also be used to make mini gelatin jigglers. Each tray measures approximately 8-5/8” long by 4-1/2” wide by 1” high. These trays are dishwasher safe.
