Kids Cooking Workshop: Lemonade Stand Part 1

  • Teaching Table 475 Sterling Place Brooklyn, NY USA (map)

All kids love a lemonade stand — preparing the treats, selling to their neighbors and friends, and drinking all of the profits. Whether or not they can get out there safely and set up a stand this year, our class will teach your kids everything they need to know to prepare the best tasting lemonade stand of their lives.

In Lemonade Stand Part 1, junior chefs will bake one dozen Soft Honey Wheat Pretzels from scratch. First, we will explore the microscopic world of yeast, watching it come to life in front of our very eyes. While waiting for our dough to rise, we will whip up simple dippers like honey mustard and mix Classic Fresh Squeezed Lemonade.

Teaching Table will also provide hours of screen-less extension activities for your kids to rock out their superior stands, including pricing worksheets, advertisement and signage creation, and additional recipes for lemonades and dippers. They can share what they made and learned when they return for Part 2.

Targeted towards kids ages 4-14 with varying degrees of support from adults. Teaching Table will walk you through how to assist and empower your children in the kitchen. Everyone is welcome.
