 Business Ideas for Preteen Siblings?   1

I have a bother and a sister who are turning 12 and 13 this year, 13 years younger than myself. I have spent very little time with them and I want to make up for that, to a certain extent. More importantly, I would like for them to learn how to manage their cash and learn the ways of the world.
Are there any kind of low maintenance, low cost business ventures I could research for them? Selling goods, simple services, etc, nothing elaborate.I would obviously finance, coach and mentor them, though I am not very versed in the logistics involved. Another thought would be to create a business plan of my own and incorporate them into the plans.
Any insight or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

paper routes arent available for kids anymore.
i got my start in lawn care in the midwest. 20 bucks to push a mower around someones yard. shows the value of making your own money, and also instills the value of hard work.

In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m anagment, too much programming and controll, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption"

I agree... Yard work is a good start(or if you are where it snows shoveling snow)

I mowed yards, cleaned dog-shit out of yards, put up fences and painted. Find the slum-lords in town and get them a gig painting for $5/hr
