    what age group?

    my youngest is pr-k, on hot/warm days I place a pitcher of ice water on the table. They consume more on those days.

      half their body weight in ounces. So, if they weigh 50 pounds, they should drink about 25 oz of water, or about 4 8 oz cups. That's throughout an entire 24 hour period though.

      This recommendation holds for grown-ups too.
