+ Have Your Kiddos Join In The Party Planning And Set Up +

Encourage your kiddos to help with the planning, setup, and decorating process. This allows them to express their creativity and take ownership of this party.

Take Your Lemonade Stand Party To The Next Level

+ Dress Up +

Make the pretend play even more special by providing your kiddos with aprons, hats, and badges. Dressing up will make them feel like they’re truly running their own business and add an extra layer of excitement and encourages imaginative role-playing.

+ Pretend Play +

Encourage children to put on short skits or plays centered around the lemonade theme. They can act as customers, employees, or even create their own stories.

+ Crafts +

Set up a craft station where children can design their own paper cup labels, decorate aprons or hats, or even make lemon-themed artwork. This allows them to explore their creativity while adding a personalized touch to their pretend play.

+ Games +

Prepare fun games like “Lemonade Limbo” or “Pin the Lemon on the Lemonade Stand.” These games add an element of friendly competition and provide opportunities for active engagement and laughter.

Try Experimenting With Flavors

 + Our Favorite Lemonade Recipe +

Of course, a lemonade stand play party wouldn’t be complete without delicious lemonade! Combine freshly squeezed lemons, a hint of agave nectar, and chilled water to create a deliciously refreshing lemonade. Pour over ice!

1. In a pitcher, mix the juice of 6 lemons

2. 1/4 cup of agave nectar and 4 cups of cold water

3. Adjust the sweetness to your liking, and serve over ice in cute summery cups!

Experiment with a variety of lemonade flavors.  You can try classic, strawberry, peach, or even a refreshing twist with fruit slices. Don’t forget to add these colorful bendy straws! My kiddos really loved taking turns serving their friends.

Endless Fun and Memories

We found this pretend play to be a wonderful way to celebrate summer, encourage imaginative play, and create lasting memories for not only the kiddos, but our entire family. It fosters creativity, teamwork, and entrepreneurial spirit while providing a little refresh from the summer heat. So, gather your little entrepreneurs and get ready to enjoy a day filled with laughter, creativity, and of course, lots of delicious lemonade! Cheers to a summer to remember!
