Who Loves Lemonade?

Lemonade stand

Hi readers!

This past weekend, I went for a walk in my neighbourhood and I came across a homemade lemonade stand. Neat! I bought a cup and the mom told me the kids were selling lemonade so they could buy a pet turtle. What a great idea!

Have you ever thought about putting on a lemonade stand to earn money for something you wanted or to raise money for charity? Summer isn’t over just yet — maybe you can put one on this weekend!

STOP: Ask your parents for permission before making a lemonade stand.

Here are some helpful tips for your lemonade stand:

• Make a big, colourful sign so people know what you are selling.
• If possible, make real lemonade. Find a recipe online.
• The night before, make lemonade ice cubes so that the pitcher of lemonade doesn’t get watered down.
• Ask your customer if they want a reusuable cup. After they are done, you can wash the cups in your kitchen.

Have you put on a lemonade stand before? Leave a comment below with your tips!

Bye for now!
