Question

What is a good thing that my 10 yr old child can make to sell?

Answer 1

Friendship bracelets?

What is he/she selling something for?

Answer 2

Cookies and lemonade always work well.

If she knows how to sew or knit she could make baby booties-- learning how to sew or knit might be a fun summer project

Another idea is for her to get wooden letters, and paint them-- people could buy names for their babies or children.

Answer 12

Soap Buddies for $3 A buddy

Difficulty: Easy

What you'll need:

Ivory Snow detergent (or any other soap flakes)

Liquid food colouring

Water

Vegetable oil

Bowl

String (if you want soap on a rope)

How to make it:

In a bowl pour approximately 3 cups of soap flakes.

Add 1 to 1 and 1/2 cups of water with a few drops of food colouring added to it.

With your hands mix the contents of the bowl until it forms the consistency of play dough.

To shape it, take a drop or two of vegetable oil and rub it between the palm of your hands -- now shape anyway you wish.

If you want to make a soap on a rope, cut a piece of string and tie the ends together. Push the knotted end gently into the your finished shape.

Let the completed soap stand to set over night

If you can't find soap flakes, you can make your own. Get some bars of pure soap and finely grate them to make soap powder. This powder may not need as much water to be workable. Start with just 1/3 to 1/2 cup per 3 cups of soap powder. Add more as needed.

Make shaped soap with candy molds. Press soap dough into lightly greased candy molds. Let set-up overnight before unmolding.

Tips:Jan Medley shares some great ideas for making shaped soaps:

Using the Bath Buddies recipe, pat or roll the mixture out to a suitable thickness and let the kids use cookie cutters or theme

cutters (Lion King, alphabet cutters, etc.) to make individual soaps.

Make soap-on-a-rope by cutting two identical pieces and sandwiching the string between the layers. You could also make two-tone soaps by using identical shapes of different colors and sandwiching them together.

Smaller cutters make nice shapes in guest-soap size that can be placed in a small wicker basket for gift giving, bathroom display, or drawer sachets.

Answer 13

Well depending if you child is female or male, if you have a daughter, she could make jewelry. Or if your child is good at building things with wood, they can build birdhouses, mailboxes, etc.

Answer 14

Lemonade, cookies, a garage sale, etc.

Or, if you want something that him and his father (or you!)  could make to sell would be marshmallow blasters. My sister (she's 19, I'm 17) have been making and selling them for the past 7 years. The first year or two my dad helped (with the saw) but now we do it on our own. They are easy to make (take maybe 3 or 4 minutes to make), they're cheap (they cost about $1.50 to make, at least in my area), and they are popular. We sell them for $5 each summer and have been quite successful. Last year we made 30 of them and took them with us on vacation (we have an RV), and we sold out in 20 minutes.

I can send you a copy of the plans, if you would like.
