This is what could be heard at the corner in front of our house this afternoon from a little 5 year old girl dancing and waving to everyone driving and walking by. I wanted to teach Paige a little about money and how to have a bake sale. We made some cookies, brownies and some wedding punch and set up a nice spot on the corner. We live on a corner where many kids pass on their way home from school, so it was a perfect set-up. We even took the boombox out there so Paige could dance. We were outside for about an hour and guess how much money we made?....$21.25. Nice! Maybe we should do this every week.

After School Snack
"Bake Sale! Bake Sale! There's cookies and punch!"

Nice profit. Very fun!
If you did it on the same day every week I bet kids would start remembering to bring money. I bet you could bring in as much or even more than the ice cream truck! I see great things in Paige's future....
wow, I am impressed! A tidy profit! I always imagine cookies selling faster than koolaid or lemonade, which you really only buy because you think the kids look sweaty and downtrodden and need a sale. Right?
