Potty-training Poop in the potty PLEASE

How do I get twin 3 almost 4yr old girls to poop in the potty??? Im so tired of pullups but they just won't poop im the toilet. They've pooped on the potty 6 times between the 2 of them and got lollipops each time but they were all done accidentally. They poop in their panties almost every day no matter how many potty breaks instructing them to "push like they're farting" goofy I know but they fart on command lmao. We've talked about being able to go to school, and ice cream for only the one who poops in the potty, and that it yucky to poop in our panties. What do we do. I want to get them in preschool but cant if they arent potty trained.

Do you put it in the toilet when they have an accident? My girl also had a lot of poop accidents and every time we would put the poop in the toilet, she had to sit down and we would wipe and wave bye bye lol. I told her poop likes to be in the potty, that’s where it wants to go. Not sure why but she seemed to get the idea. Then lots of celebratory dances and a candy- we did the mini m&ms or a gummy candy. Even if she had an accident I would reward her for flushing it etc. she responded really well to over celebrating.

If she actually went in the toilet she got extra candy and a silly song I made up saying what a good job she did.
