Setting up a lemonade stand is a great summertime activity for kids, with lots of potential teaching moments along the way! Here are some tips to ensure that your family’s foray into the lemonade business is a sweet success, and fun for all! —
Make sure to first help your children pick a safe location with lots of foot traffic, and put up colorful signs on nearby streets to entice buyers.
Price your product right (50 cents is a good place to start) and consider selling other goodies, like cookies or cupcakes, to entice customers. You may want to consider talking to your kids about donating a portion of the proceeds to a charity.
Finally, encourage your children to be polite and cheerful. People are more likely to stop if you greet them with a smile!
