When the leaves change color and pumpkins pop up on porches, it’s the perfect time for kids to bring their entrepreneurial spirit into the new season. Fall offers unique opportunities for children to start simple, creative businesses that teach responsibility, teamwork, and money management.

🍎 1. Apple Cider Stand

Just like lemonade in the summer, warm apple cider is a hit in the fall. With a parent’s help, kids can set up a small stand at neighborhood gatherings or local fall festivals.

🎃 2. Pumpkin Decorating Service

Not everyone wants to carve pumpkins, but many families enjoy decorating them. Kids can offer painting or sticker-decorating services, turning plain pumpkins into festive masterpieces.

🍪 3. Bake Sale with Fall Flavors

Think pumpkin bread, apple muffins, or cinnamon cookies. Seasonal baked goods not only taste great but also give kids a chance to practice marketing by creating fun names like “Harvest Cookies” or “Autumn Spice Bites.”

🍂 4. Leaf Raking for Neighbors

A classic way to earn money while helping the community. Kids can team up with friends or siblings, offering bundled deals like “Front Yard + Backyard Special.”

📚 The Power of Storytelling

At Lemonade Stand Kids, we believe kids learn best through stories they can see themselves in. Our books, like Gracie’s Lemonade Stand and Danny and the Snow Shovel, show children how creativity and hard work can turn simple ideas into exciting adventures. These fall business ideas build on the same values, reminding kids that with a little imagination, every season brings a chance to grow.
