Summer slime is a great way to beat the heat by coming indoors for a craft project that turns into a fun sensory activity.

Slime poured its way into our homes years ago.

And it shows no signs of slowing down as a favored sensory activity for kids and teenagers.

Fun Lemonade Facts for Kids

I found a two-page layout in Food Anatomy that was all about lemonade including a recipe.

How to Make Fluffy Lemonade Summer Slime With Kids

Lemonade means different things depending on where you live, in the US it is a drink made of water, lemons, and sugar. 

Australia’s version is carbonated (like Sprite), while the Middle East enjoys their tangy lemonade with a bit of mint.

Send your child on a sweet and sour chase for information by having them research some facts about lemons and lemonade, take a trip to the library to find the answers or search the web.

  • When was lemonade invented? The first record of lemonade is from the 12th century in Egypt.
  • Why are lemons sour? Lemon tastes sour due to the acetic acid in their juice.
  • What country produces the most lemons? India at 17% of the world’s crop.
  • When is national Lemonade Day? August 20th
  • How many lemons grow on a lemon tree each year? One lemon tree can produce up to 500 or 600 pounds of lemons in a year.

Looking for a good read aloud that is on theme too?

The Lemonade War is a popular chapter book that is great for a family read or independent reading time.

Can your kids not get enough slime?
