| I haven't done this with my girls as a childhood memory, should I do this with them? Did you do this? |

| Of course! Baked goods are a hit too! |

No. White washing fences is also no longer a thing. No one, other than your family and friends who feel pressured, want to pay $5.00 for 4oz of watered down powdered or frozen lemonade with a cookie the size of a vanilla wafer. |

| Yes, I did this with my kids. They had so much fun. They are young teenagers now, and will stop at the neighborhood lemonade stands themselves because they have good memories of doing it themselves. |

$5 lemonade stand??? Yikes. The ones in our neighborhood are never over $1, and often 25 or 50 cents. |

| When my twins were 4, they saw a lemonade stand in a cartoon. They wanted to try it. DD wanted to put it in our backyard. I explained that no one would see it and we wouldn’t have any customers to sell to. DD thought for a second and then said, “You and Twin and I can buy it!” When you do it when they’re really young, they don’t even care about being successful; it’s just an activity to do. They have fun just making the signs for the table. |

I would only do it if you have many friends with kids nearby that you can email to come by. For random neighbors out with their dog, they have no cash and it is awkward to say no to 5 jumping screaming kids who have put time into their signs and display.
PS...put the powdered mix canister out of sight! |

| Depends on the neighborhood, but they're usually a hit in ours. |

| The kids in our neighborhood do this all the time. Going rate is $1.50 for a solo cup of lemonade. Offerings have ranged from fresh squeezed, to Simply Lemonade, to Country Time. The most successful one was the kid who had a variety of Simply Juice offerings that the kids could mix. |
