If you have creative and entrepreneurial children, then you will love these fun new activities that help kids create their own business!
Marketing Executive Carolyn Stone Enenstein, founder and CEO of Bizainy™, and mom of two, created the company to empower kids to learn about business and money management using hands-on experiences. Kids who become “Bizainees” gain practical skills such as building a budget, developing marketing techniques to entice customers, using effective sales strategies to close the sale, negotiating rates, calculating profits and much more.
“Many of today’s tech-savvy kids and teens can benefit from the creativity, strategic thinking and financial skills that Bizainy presents,” says Enenstein. “My goal is for Bizainy to expand the way our youth thinks about business and finance: as both a career path for some, and a foundation of core life skills that help all children become self-reliant, responsible, motivated, thriving young adults.”

Our thoughts? We reviewed the Lemonade Stand kit and it is SO full of activities and ideas, and it kept my children busy for hours, literally HOURS! First of all, they can decorate their own money box, create a marketing plan, and even a sales strategy. My kids have their entire business ready to go (it even included a small business load from moi!) and they are just waiting for a sunny weekend day for their grand opening! With summer just around the corner, these activity kids would make great activities for keeping kids busy and happy! I love toys/activities that are not only fun, but educational as well!
