I sit on my porch. It's yard sale day and there is a break in the action. My two daughters aged 12 a.m. to 8 p.m., sell some of their toys, books and videos, have outgrown them. The oldest one is making money to buy a guitar and amp. Together with her best friend are a band. You earn money to buy the equipment. The figure that if Hannah Montana can do it, so it can. The youngest is to earn money to buy a new game for its Nintendo.
I'm glad to see thatThe girls are interested in earning their own money. They have been preparing all week for this and are thrilled. They enjoy making money and have already decided to sell lemonade to earn extra money.
They sell lemonade for twenty-five cents a glass. It seems simple, but they have learned some important lessons. First, they have learned how to market their goods. They wanted me to make a sign for them, but I said no. I told him that part of the charm of the lemonadeIs state that it is run by children and children a sign adds a wonderful character did you know that - colorful, large block letters, charming.
The next lesson learned was that they diversify production. She started with your basic yellow lemonade. It was good, but then a customer pointed out that they like lemonade. So it went into the house to the oldest. Out she came with a pitcher of lemonade. Previous year, sales rose.
Then came a lesson in quality control. The girls had to earnMoney by selling lemonade for over an hour in the hot sun, when one of their customers should be noted that the lemonade was warm. So the recent rushed into the house for ice cubes and put the people drink for him. Problem solved - satisfied customer.
The Yard sale and lemonade stand are great ways for kids to earn to extra money. In addition to earning money, the children learn to deal with people, how they interact with the customers. They are also brushing up on their modification by the skills and moneyHandling in learning some basics of entrepreneurship. It is easy to sell a farm and a great way for kids to make money, but it's also a nice small classroom where they can learn and grow.
