How to do it

Week 1: pick a product (lemonade, cookies, both). Decide a price and a profit goal. Week 2: make a sign together, scout a location (in front of your house or with permission at a local event). Week 3: bake/prep + run the stand. Week 4: count the money, talk about cost vs revenue. Donate the profit somewhere the kid picks. They learn money by holding it.
