A few weekends ago, our housing community held a garage sale. Our kids were really wanting to earn some money and Braden starting going through all of his things assigning prices so he could buy some new lego sets! Usually I would be ok with that if it weren't brand new things that I know he loves...so we told the kids that they could sell some of the bounty from the garden. Afterall we have used our kids to help with weed control and watering this summer, so we figured they could help pick and then make some money for their efforts.
Ryan helped the kids with some signs and I suggested some inticing prices so the kids could get lots of traffic.
Carrots 10 cents a piece, cucumbers 50 cents a piece, and zucchini $3. (They were mammoth in size.)Braden brought the play cash register and sat at the picnic table as the cashier. Ryan and Tanner helped to bag produce. Gracie held the signs and yelled "Fresh veggies from the garden" with Tanner.
In two hours time, they sold out of their produce and made around $27 + change! They were stoked with their earnings that they split evenly.
