Easy Ways to Make Money Fast for Kids

For older children, mowing lawns around the neighborhood is an easy way to make money, especially if you live in a large neighborhood with many neighbors in need of having their grass cut. Help your child determine a set rate to charge per lawn, and provide them with a mower to use or make sure they will be able to use a mower owned by the neighbor.

When leaves begin to fall, raking leaves is another easy way that kids can make money in their own neighborhood. Have your child set a flat rate to charge for raking the leaves out of neighbors' lawns.

In the summer months, your child can earn extra money by washing cars around the neighborhood. Help your child determine a price to charge per vehicle and make sure he has all the necessary supplies for washing cars, such as soap, a sponge or mitt, a bucket and access to a hose.
