Best Things for Kids to Sell at School
School is one of the best places for kids to make their first sales. You have a built-in audience of classmates, and word spreads fast when you have something cool. Here are the top products that sell well at school, with real pricing and profit tips.
Friendship Bracelets and Beaded Jewelry
Letter bead bracelets, woven friendship bracelets, and charm bracelets are always popular. Cost about $0.30-0.75 each to make, sell for $2-5. Offer custom names or colors to charge more. They are small, easy to carry, and every kid wants one.
Slime and Fidget Toys
Slime is still a huge seller with elementary and middle school kids. Butter slime, glitter slime, cloud slime. Cost about $0.50-1 per container, sell for $3-6. Package in small clear containers with labels for a professional look.
Stickers and Sticker Packs
If you can draw, design original stickers and print them at home with a sticker printer or printable sticker paper. Cost about $0.10-0.25 per sticker, sell for $0.50-2. Themed packs (animals, memes, sports) sell especially well.
Baked Goods and Snacks
Cookies, brownies, rice krispie treats, and trail mix bags. Cost $0.25-0.75 per serving, sell for $1-3. Check your school rules first, as some schools have policies about selling food. Always label ingredients for allergies.
Bookmarks and School Supplies
Laminated bookmarks with original art, custom pencil toppers, or decorated notebooks. Cost $0.25-0.50 each, sell for $1-3. Useful items sell well because kids need them and parents approve of the purchase.
Seasonal Items and Holiday Specials
Valentine cards, Halloween candy bags, holiday ornaments, and end-of-year gifts. Seasonal products create urgency, as kids know they can only get them for a limited time. Plan two weeks ahead of each holiday for maximum sales.
