Our trampoline had been broken for a while, and Savannah had been wanting a new one. We didn't really want to buy another one, but Alex said if Savannah earned $200, we could get another one. He didn't think she'd do that, but she worked hard and earned the money. She made cookies and sold them to her friends, along with little gift bags of some of her toys and things. She also made smoothies and snacks for us, only asking for tips if we wanted to give something. She also read books and earned money by doing book reports, which has been a money-making source for our kids for a little while now. Her long-awaited trampoline arrived in December, almost like an early birthday present except that she earned the money for it. She tried to get the boys to donate some money, and she got just a little bit from Owen. I told her she should charge her brothers $1/hour to jump on the trampoline until she earns the money back... she's too kind-hearted to make them pay, but she's enjoying her new trampoline.
