The “Stand Plan” covers just about everything there is to creating a great stand. It teaches kids how to select the most promising location, how to build their stand, set a price, what supplies are needed, how to make goals and different ideas for achieving them, how to make change and use great manners and customer skills, and of course the economics of raising money in the lemonade business. The packet provides tons of great tips, recipes – because treats keep the customers thirsty, and even provides tons of printables, complete with T-shirt decals, coasters, straw flags, and a pennant to create your own personalized banner with. Not only is it a great resource for teaching kids the basics of business, it’s free! Thanks, Country Time! Country Time even remembers to teach the kids the importance of charity by inviting families nationwide to join the fun as they launch the Great American Lemonade Stand-tacular to help fight childhood cancer by raising money for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). Fans who post a photo of their stand to the Country Time Facebook page can trigger a $5 donation to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. With just a pitcher of water, some ice cubes a spoon, and some lemonade, my kids and I were able to stir up an afternoon of fun for the entire neighborhood. And as the Official Lemonade of Lemonade Stands, Country Time is available in four refreshing, down-home flavors including classic Lemonade, Pink Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade and Half & Half (half iced tea, half lemonade) so there is a flavor sure to make everyone happy. Not only does Country Time provide authentic, fresh made lemonade that everyone enjoys, but its Great American Stand-tacular program is a great way to help kids learn valuable lessons of entrepreneurship while giving back to others in need, which are values that I definitely want my kids to learn! Are you ready to join Country Time’s Great American Stand-tacular and their campaign to help fight childhood cancer?!? I just posted our picture to the stand gallery! There are some fabulous stands posted, I can’t wait to see yours there too! To help you get started, Country Time is giving away a Country Time Sample Care Package consisting of one canister of each flavor {classic Lemonade, Pink Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade and Half & Half (half iced tea, half lemonade)} to one JCD follower!

I love your lemonade stand. We made one with Country Time lemonade last year for the boys they were so excited to have this. They made posters and signs blew up balloons and all. Their dad took an old folding table and put a little frame around it to make the stand the kids had a ball using their imagination to paint it. They helped me make some cookies to serve with their lemonade. It was the best day!
Have lots of country time on hand and have cookies too!
You have to have nice, cold lemonade and some cute kids.
Loving your lemonade stand! Inspires me to have one of our own before summer ends.
I remember doing this with my kids. So much fun! Love the pics
