A simple birthday party food idea that’s perfect for hot summer days, these lemonade stand-inspired lemon sticks require only lemons and BigDotofHappiness.com’s own green lime citrus sticklettes. To make these treats, you simply slice a lemon in half and insert a citrus stick. As you suck on the candy stick, it hollows and you’re able to taste a refreshing combination of tart lemon and sweet candy. Perfect for little hands to hold and easy to clean up (just discard the lemons), these lemon sticks are a wonderful birthday party food idea for a hot summer day.

Serve your lemon sticks on ice or display them on a pretty tray that’s labeled with one of Big Dot of Happiness’ unique birthday party name tags, like we did here using a green and yellow Monkey Neutral birthday party name tag sticker adhered to craft paper. Big Dot of Happiness offers sticklettes and name tags in a variety of colors and styles, so you can have fun mixing and matching colors for a treat that coordinates perfectly with your party theme!
