Red leather couches are fairly unsightly, unless they are being used in a funky modern styled home or a retro styled home. Reupholstering an ancient couch can bring new life to it, allowing you to auction it off to the highest bidder. There are so many different fabrics out there to enhance the old frame with, and you do not have to use leather again. It takes a bit of skill to reupholster an old piece of furniture, so it is best to find free, junked couches that no one wants anymore.
Cleaning Car Interiors as Kids: Becoming an Automotive Detailer
Cars get messy all of the time, especially for families with small children. Most of the time, these people simply don’t have the time to clean out their cars. This gives kids a massive opportunity to earn money. Most households have two vehicles, giving a much bigger chance of earning at each home. All you have to be able to do is clean out a car, vacuum it, and shampoo it (or use canned shampoo products) if necessary.

How to Collect & Sell Walnuts, Pecans, Almonds, Hazelnuts, and More!
Nuts: we love them in thousands of different foods, yet many of us truly do not realize just how expensive these nuts really are! Small bags of shelled nuts can go for upwards of $7; and that is per POUND. In shell nuts will cost over $3 per lb, making it a perfect business opportunity for the kid with a little too much time on their hands. This is a super easy job; it just requires that each kid learn about the different nuts and trees, then takes the time to find the trees and collect the nuts. Selling them will be a bit easier, especially since most nuts are falling when they are in season during the fall.
walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and pecans are all amazing nuts and seeds that you can forage for and sell. The high prices that they go for in stores is insane; break the price, and harvest them locally!
Now that the oh so beautiful spring season has arrived, it’s time to bust open those blinds, swing back those windows, blare some music, and clean while the crisp spring breeze blows all around you! Every single one of you might moan and groan at the thought of cleaning; but if you have ever cleaned like this, then you know just how revitalizing, energizing, and fun it CAN be if you let it! Here is our final line up for the big spring jobs that any kiddo can do!
Getting Those Gardens Weeded for New Spring Seedlings
Everyone loves a garden full of fresh, juicy vegetables and fruity, floral displays that take the nose on a vacation to a far away place; but, the hard work must be done to see the benefits, something many people just don’t want to do. Almost anyone will pay you to weed their gardens, and some of those people will pay a LOT of money in order to avoid it. Try charging $10- $15 per hour depending on the size of the garden. The bigger it is, the less you charge. For small gardens that may only take an hour, try charging $20. It’s an annoying job, so it can pay well.
Dusting High and Low
13 Year Olds and up all need to find an amazing, fun spring and summer job to begin saving for their super fun vacations.
When people do spring cleaning, one of the biggest things they forget to do is dusting. Offer to dust people’s homes for a low cost. It’s a super easy job, but it just gets forgotten amongst all of the other cleaning. Ensure that you build a nice list of items to dust, as you do not want to forget anything. Here’s a good list to start off with:
Ceiling Fans
Crown molding
Lamps
Televisions
Consoles (gaming, movie, music)
Collectibles
Shelves
Wall art
Picture frames
Tops of Cabinets
Bookshelves
Curtain rods
Blinds
Doorway Moldings
Etc.
Dusting Yards for Pests & Bugs
When spring comes, critters follow suit. There will be bugs and pests coming from every corner of the yard, waging war on the family and the home. You can offer a special yard dusting service for the people in your neighborhood! There are particular pesticides that are sprinkled, or dusted, onto yards to eliminate ants, ticks, fleas, spiders, and other crazy pests. Be sure that you figure in the cost of the product as well as how long it takes you to do each yard. BE SURE THAT YOU WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AT ALL TIMES AND ASK YOUR PARENTS BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER A TASK LIKE THIS. You will need gloves, a face mask, goggles, and boots. You don’t want to get any chemicals on you.
Painting Fences as a Job for Kids!
Everyone loves painting; it’s fun, and it’s relaxing! Painting does require a bit of patience and skill (which you quickly get the hang of), so be prepared to work on this sort of task all day, if not for several days. Fences need to painted once every 1-5 years, as the sun fades the colors and the weather chips away at the paint. Paint can become expensive, but I would recommend that you insist that the customer purchases the paint. This way, you don’t have to purchase it and the customer gets the color they want. It also allows them to store the rest of the paint for the following year.
Buying and Selling Beautiful Old, Gently Used Designer Watches for Kids
Even among all of the technological advances that we have, people are still using the old fashioned wrist watch. It’s not only useful for a quick glance at the time, but it is also very fashionable.

You just have to know how to find these older, vintage luxury watches in order to turn a good profit on them!
This adorable wrist bracelet watch has adorable gold dolphins on it! This would be a huge hit among teens and kids!
