Kid-Friendly Summer Business Ideas

The kids are on summer break, and you have until late August or early September to keep them busy. Why not help them create their very own business? Here’s a list of ideas to get your business visions started.

Lemonade Stand: A lemonade stand is the perfect summer business for kids of all ages. It can be as simple or elaborate as you like, made from a folding table, or built from the ground up. Make your stand bright and vibrant and make sure you have plenty of ice on hand for those hot summer days. So, grab your favorite lemonade recipe, create some bright yellow signs and start serving up some lemonade!

Dog Walking: This is a great option for older children! Anyone with a dog that works during the day can use an energetic dog walker to make sure their furry friend gets the exercise and attention they need. Help your child make their services stand out amongst the rest with some unique business cards that they can hand out to the neighbors or leave at local businesses.

Lawn Mowing: If you’ve got teenagers, chances are they could use a little extra cash. Since most people would rather be soaking in the sun at the beach than mowing their lawns, lawn mowing is the perfect way for your ambitious teenager to earn some money. Chances are there will be some competition in your neighborhood, so if your child is serious about his lawn mowing business, it is important that he have eye-catching advertising materials to post at local restaurants, grocery stores and shopping malls. A brochure will the promote the business and stand out compared to a traditional flyer.

Yard Sale: Having a yard sale is fun for the whole family and it helps to clear some clutter out of your house! Get everyone involved by having every member of the family go through their closet, the basement or cupboards to find things that no one uses anymore. Make it even more fun for your children by assigning them the task to find objects that start with every letter of the alphabet. Once you’ve assembled your merchandise, it’s time to post your custom-made posters all over town so that everyone will know where the best yard sale is.
