Picnic
punch: fruit-sweetened waterPour cold water into a pitcher (preferably plastic). Cut lemons and oranges carefully into two different shapes. Slice half of each fruit into "circle" shapes. Then cut each circle in half to make semi-circles. Children will enjoy watching you make these shapes. Use a cutting board to help your child remember to keep fingers away. Cut the rest of each fruit into wedges that are easy for your favorite child to squeeze. After all hands are clean, help your child squeeze the juice from the lemon and orange wedges into the water. As the juice is added, assist your child in stirring and tasting the punch. Continue until your child finds it just right. For a colorful touch, add the semi-circle shaped slices of fruit to the punch.
