Make Pinkalicious Pink Lemonade

Wash the strawberries and cut off the stems (or help your child cut off the stems). Ask your child questions about what they know about strawberries. For example, ask your child what strawberries look like, taste like, and feel like. Does your child like any foods that are flavored with strawberries?

Place the strawberries in the blender. Help your child measure one cup of water, and then pour it into the blender. Blend the strawberries with the water until the mixture is smooth. Set it aside.

Together with your child measure the sugar and pour it into a saucepan. Combine the sugar with two cups of water and stir together with the spoon. Bring the mixture to a boil on the stove, and continue stirring until all of the sugar has dissolved. Take the saucepan off the stove, and let the sugar water cool until it is at room temperature. As the mixture cools, ask your child, "What happens when we mix the sugar and water together?"

Help your child cut all of the lemons in half and juice them by squeezing each one into the bowl or using a manual juicer. Use a spoon to remove any seeds from the juice. Ask your child what it’s like to squeeze the lemons and examine how much juice you can squeeze out of each lemon.

Together with your child, mix the sugar water, lemon juice, blended strawberries, and four cups of water together in a pitcher. Make sure to mix well. You now have Pinkalicious pink lemonade!

Place the pitcher in the fridge to allow the Pinkalicious pink lemonade to chill.

Once it is nice and cold, pour the Pinkalicious pink lemonade in a glass and enjoy! Ask your child, "What other fruits do you think would make yummy lemonade flavors? Which one should we try next?"
