My granddaughter and her friend love to bake. They made some chocolate chip cookies and plced it on a table on their street. They were so happy to have made $15,00. My niece who is also a teenager, loves to knit, make crafts and all kinds of handiwork. She also puts her homemade things out on the neighborhood street and makes quite a bit of money. She does this quite often and finds it very gratifying.

Oh wow, that was really good! how old is your son then?
Wow, I would love to have such kind of baking as well.
We did tried peanut butter cookies last time, but seems like there's something wrong we have done that's why the cookies didn't form as a circle we expected...
Oh well, try and try until we make it perfect...

This is cool, and glad this is working for them like this. Around here, they make people get permits, etc to do this very often but I think it is interesting to give kids a fun way to be able to earn some extra money this way. I actually enjoy selling things and this is why I got a business license and sell things from my home, online, and at shows.

I'm curious, Krause, what do you sell online? I just published a children's book called "A Tooth With A Hole." It can be ordered on Amazon if you know anyone who would like to get it for a child, you can let them know about this book.What is your online number so I can check what you are selling? Good luck with your sells.

Your granddaughter are way so creative and talented than most kids nowadays. It is nice to hear that there are some kids who can find better things to spend their time with other than partying and getting into all sorts of trouble. She's got good friends and she's pretty smart to have chosen them and their company.
