Make Punch

If we don't have a large pitcher, measuring cup, or wooden spoon, what can we use instead?

Use a clean large mixing bowl or a sterilized 2‑liter bottle as the pitcher, use a marked kitchen mug or a dry measuring cup to measure 2 cups of juice, and swap the wooden spoon for a long‑handled metal or silicone spoon to stir.

What should we do if the punch tastes too weak or isn't cold enough after tasting a spoonful?

If the punch is too weak after the taste test, add more of one juice in 1/4‑cup steps and if it's not cold enough add extra ice cubes or frozen fruit and stir again for 10 seconds as in the instructions.

How can I adapt the steps like slicing fruit, measuring, and stirring for a 3‑year‑old, a 6‑year‑old, and a 10‑year‑old?

For a 3‑year‑old let them wash hands and drop pre‑sliced fruit and ice into the pitcher while an adult does the cutting and measuring, for a 6‑year‑old let them measure 2 cups and pour juices with supervision and do the 30‑second stir, and for a 10‑year‑old let them follow all steps themselves except the adult slicing on the cutting board.

How can we personalize or make the punch fancier for serving or sharing on DIY.org?

Garnish each cup with a slice of the fresh fruit used, replace 1 cup of juice with sparkling water just before pouring to add fizz, use frozen fruit instead of 2 cups of ice to avoid dilution, and arrange cups on a decorated tray for your DIY.org photo or story.
