Secure Your Candy Supplies Through Your Allowance – Young Children
Young kids have many things they want too, and there are some easy ways they can earn their allowances:

• Put their toys away – this means in their room, and around the house, wherever toys may be lying, they can pick them up and put them back in the toy box
• Pick up their clothes – instead of leaving them on the floor of their room or in the bathroom, they can pick them up and place them neatly on their bed, or in the laundry basket
• Feed the family pet – giving the cat, dog, or hamster dry food is easy to do and pets will be happy too!

Secure Your Candy Supplies Through Your Allowance – Older Kids:

Older Kids have lots of options available to them in earning an allowance and getting a raise in their allowances:

• Some of the basic things that kids do to earn their allowance are vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, mopping, dishes, taking the garbage and recycling out, shoveling snow, mowing lawns, weeding gardens and flower beds, raking leaves, taking care of pets, helping with cooking and grocery shopping
• To get an increase in their allowance, they can offer to clean out the fridge, clean out cupboards, sweep the garage floor, wash down a deck or porch, paint a fence or stain the deck, clean up the basement, wash windows, wash the family car, wash walls, and offer to help with the care of a younger sibling.

Secure Your Candy Supplies Through Other Money-Making Activities:

Beyond their allowance, there are lots of safe and profitable ways kids can earn extra cash for the things they want:

• Part-time jobs at local businesses
• Handing out flyers for local businesses
• Paper routes
• Babysitting
• House-cleaning for neighbors
• Garage sales
• Dog-walking for friends and neighbors
• Craft Sales
• Bake sales
• Design and make their own jewelry and sell it online or at events around town
• They can be a busker – if they are good at signing or playing an instrument, and if parents can come with them, they can book a popular spot in town and play for tips
• Participate in suitable online surveys
• E-bay commissions – sell unwanted items of their own or from family, friends, or neighbors – you can send out flyers advertising your services to people in the neighborhood or post them at grocery stores
• Write articles, short stories, and eBooks – if there is something you are really good at, such as a particular videogame, hobby or sport, you can write articles or eBooks sharing this knowledge. You can sell your articles to magazines and other online places. EBooks can keep making them money for a long time. If they are good at, and enjoy, writing fiction, they can sell their short stories to places that will publish them.
• Investing – by putting some of their money into certificates of deposit, bonds, or stocks, can earn a healthy return on their investment
