Yesterday we made homemade lemonade and the kids I think really enjoyed it. So did I!!

This project was all about the 5 senses we have and the lemon was a great example of that. We talked about the smell of the lemon, how the lemon was smooth and bumpy too. The best part the taste of the lemon. As you can see in Marv's face its SOUR!! that didn't stop him though he ate 6-8 lemon slices before he said he didn't like it anymore.

We squeezed the lemons by hand all 10 of them.. ( makes about 2 cups lemon juice)

Finally don't the squeezing part ready for the next part. Boil a cup of sugar and a cup of water on the stove until the sugar dissolves.

Then add 3-4 cups ice cold water. We also added some extra lemon slices to the pitcher to add to the look.

This is a large coat box that I got from my new neighbors across the street to turn into the kids very own lemonade shop. This is in the dramatic play area in the playroom.
