Of course, you can have them check out my post on 16 Things to Make and Sell Right Now. Some of those are a bit more complicated, so you might want to do them yourself or possibly help supervise!
There are so many ways kids can exercise their entrepreneurial spirit. I think the biggest thing is that my daughter wants to be taken seriously. I could totally see a tween or teen opening up an Etsy shop or something similar selling some of the goodies here. Many of the ideas would also do well at craft fairs, trade shows, or antique shop booths, I think.
Which one is your favorite? Which one will your kids try first?
I would totally buy that coffee cup cozy! I think it’s great when kids want to earn their own money buy making things and then selling them. I wish there were more venues that would be open to letting kids sell at a vendor event where they could have a small free space to get them started 🙂
