Little Sharks Take a Nibble at Fun Ways to Earn and Learn

Budding entrepreneurs and the grown-ups who help nurture hands-on business skills will make a “shark” frenzy about these activity kits from Bizainy. Not strictly toys, these creative kits offer a way for kids to learn useful life experiences about business and money management.

The three activity kits include projects for hands-on learning-as-fun, including DIY banners, books, decorate-your-own money boxes, stickers, sales pads, postcards and more. The Lemonade Stand kit shows youngsters how to turn lemons into lemonade sales and make a bit of change while having fun. Each kit includes banners, sales strategies, recipes and all the other ingredients needed for pint-sized success.

The Babysitting Start-up teaches how to start a business caring for little ones (or just pretending to) with a “Babysitting Rocks” tote bag, parent instruction pad, postcards, stickers and a booklet crammed with info on negotiating rates and dealing with clients and tots.

For kids who love to bake comes the Charity Bake Sale kit designed to let young cooks raise funds for a special cause. The kit includes a decorate-it-yourself money box; bright, colorful banners; a sales pad, useful recipes; a 24-page booklet crammed with information about selecting a cause; a marketing plan, budget and more. All three kits are designed for ages five and up and require just a bit of mentoring with adult supervision.

Bizainy is the brainchild of marketing executive Carolyn Stone Enenstein, who created the company to empower kids to learn about business and money management with a hands-on approach.

“Many of today’s tech-savvy kids and teens can benefit from creativity, strategic thinking and financial skills, ” Enenstein says. She is justifiably proud of her company, which aims to encourage young people how to spend, save, invest and donate as the foundation of healthy money management.

Shoppers gravitate towards games that don’t rely on being plugged in and encourage face-to-face interaction. These kits provide hours of fun, along with genuine learning experiences that encourage kids to look beyond a screen while they learn useful life skills. Each kit helps to inspire independent thought, create quality family time and provide opportunities for teamwork and community interaction. On top of these qualities, the projects provide hours and hours of just plain old-fashioned fun.
