It’s important to keep your kids hydrated throughout the day, but getting them to drink water can sometimes be a challenge. Here’s a suggestion for a simple way to make drinking water more appealing. Get your kids to help make fruity ice cubes to use in their glass of water, to give it a fresh, fruity kick.

What you need

Ice cube tray

Fresh fruit (apple, pineapple, strawberries, mango, grapes, watermelon – whatever fruit you have available)

Water

How it works

  1. Cut the fresh fruit into small pieces.
  2. Place the pieces of fruit into each cube of the tray.
  3. Fill the tray with water until the fruit is covered.
  4. Carefully place the tray in the freezer until the cubes are completely frozen.
  5. Once the cubes are frozen, place them in a glass and pour water over them for a drink with a fruity difference.

The science behind the idea

Water is the best choice for thirsty kids. After all, it’s what their bodies are mostly made of. And, unlike soft drinks and juice, drinking water benefits kids by providing essential hydration – without any sugar.

Water helps regulate body temperature, supports digestion, and aids in nutrient absorption. It also promotes healthy brain function and concentration, which is especially important for school-aged children.
To make drinking water more appealing, try infusing it with slices of fresh fruits like citrus or berries. This adds a hint of natural flavor without the added sugars.
Providing easy access to water, such as having a water bottle readily available, can also help kids develop the habit of staying hydrated. 
By prioritizing water as the go-to beverage for kids, you can ensure they are properly hydrated. Remember, a well-hydrated child is a healthy child.
