In Twin Falls there were a group of ladies that started a Kid Entrepreneur Day in the summer. Where kids ages 3-14 could make anything and sell it. Avery and Emily both were excited to participate and went to work on finding things they could make for cheap and sell to others. They made bookmarks with buttons and paper clips. They made little finger puppets with googly eyes. They made flower pens, and painted rocks to look like cactus's pets. And they were also busy making rubber band bracelets all month! They lastly made cookies to sell! I think they put in $18 for all the materials and they each made close to $24 at the end. So their profit was $15 each. Not bad. It was a great experience for them; making things, selling things and bargaining with others.
Then we set up their table for display and they had a great time selling things all afternoon to other vendors and customers in Twin Falls!
(A friend of mine was on the committee for it, and they asked me to take pictures of all the booths. I am only posting half of the pictures here so you get an idea of what it was like and how many kids participated!)
