Six Creative Ways for Kids to Make Money
When it comes to kids making money, lemonade stands and mowing lawns usually come to mind. But there are plenty of creative alternatives. Here are some unique ideas from my childhood that helped me earn a little extra cash.
1. Become a Mini-Chef
When I was around eleven, I started selling meals to my four brothers. For 25 cents, they'd get scrambled eggs or a sandwich, and I'd charge more for complex dishes. Since the ingredients were already in the house, it was pure profit. They loved staying in front of the TV while I did the cooking!
2. Offer Tech Support
Kids today know a lot about technology. My nephew started earning money by programming at fourteen, but even younger kids can teach adults how to use computers and the internet for a fee. With a few more skills, they can help set up computers for first-time users. Grandparents spreading the word can be great marketing!
3. Host a Home Carnival
I used to charge my brothers five cents for chances to win prizes. They could pick a wadded-up piece of paper from a bucket?"most contained pennies, but a few had quarters. Another favorite was penny tossing, where they’d aim for a bowl across the room. If a penny stayed in, they won a dime. It’s a fun and simple way to earn pocket money.
4. Return Cans and Bottles
Returning cans and bottles for a deposit was a staple in my childhood. With more places having return policies now, it’s an excellent way to earn cash. During the Cherry Festival in Traverse City, Michigan, some were making over $100 a day. Just remember to use gloves, leave broken items alone, and use hand sanitizer for safety.
5. Create a Personal Services Menu
Kids can create a list of services and charge for each?"like washing windows for 50 cents or walking dogs for $1.50. If copied, this menu can be shared with family and neighbors to drum up business.
6. Organize Rummage Sales or Visit Flea Markets
If parents give the okay, kids can set up rummage sales to sell old household items, crafts, and snacks. They can also try out flea markets. One summer, I sold over $1,000 in hand-made walking sticks while my wife sold crafted pewter figurines. Cookies and drinks also do well. It’s a fantastic way to learn about business and make money.
These creative approaches not only help kids earn money but also teach valuable lessons in entrepreneurship and responsibility.
