On those hot summer days, nothing beats the heat like an icy cold, refreshing glass of lemonade. Here’s my favorite recipe for fresh squeezed lemonade! When you make it from scratch it’s way better than the powdered stuff and also a fun, simple activity for kids in the kitchen. Making lemonade is not only good for practicing fine motor skills, it’s also a wonderful sensory experience. Making and sharing a glass encourages positive interactions and social skills! This recipe is based upon 2 servings. You can easily modify it to make more.
