Directions

Grab the glass outline piece and glue int onto the middle of the glass, lining up the edges so it fits nicely.
Take the straw piece and color it in, then put glue on the bottom half. Place that glued part on the top right edge of the glass, letting the rest of the straw stick up.
Glue the lemonade piece to the bottom of the glass. Help your child line it up so it fits neatly inside the glass shape.
Grab the ice cube letters. Help your child spell their name by placing each letter down the center of the lemonade and gluing them in place. Encourage them to say each letter out loud as they go.
Use a marker and draw a curved line across the top of the glass to show the top edge of the drink. This adds a simple detail that really brings the lemonade to life.
Color the lemon slice, then glue it along the top edge of the glass so it looks like it’s sitting right on the rim.
Finish the craft by using a marker to draw small bubbles throughout the lemonade. Let your child add as many as they like to make it look fizzy and fun!
