Things That Kids Can Resell - Part 2: Food & Drinks!

Often markets are in the middle of a hot summer day and there simply isn't enough food and water to satisfy customers.

Children can easily resell items such as chips, snacks, and bottled beverages that have a long shelf life. These products are popular choices as they are in demand and do not spoil quickly, making them suitable for reselling. By offering these items, children can learn important entrepreneurial skills such as budgeting, marketing, and customer service while earning some extra money.

FOOD! Summer fairs, festivals, and markets that the YBO participates in always seem to have a shortage of food. The variety and quantity of food available at these events never seem to be sufficient to satisfy everyone's cravings. People often find themselves craving more options and larger portions to choose from. The YBO's presence at these events adds to the excitement, but the food situation always leaves attendees wanting more. It's a common occurrence that food supplies run low, and people are left searching for more options to satiate their appetites.

One creative idea for a children's entrepreneurship project could involve them setting up a small food stand where they offer pre-cooked hot dogs from a crockpot. The children could simply serve the hot dogs on a bun to customers, creating a convenient and tasty snack option. This type of venture not only teaches children about basic food preparation and customer service skills but also allows them to experience the satisfaction of running their own small business. Additionally, this concept promotes independence and creativity in young minds as they explore the world of entrepreneurship.

It's important to note:

Children should only sell items that they can prepare and serve without adult assistance.
Wear gloves while handling food.
Have hand sanitizer available for yourself and your customers.
