14. Painting/Decorating

Another job that adults don’t really enjoy doing, but one that kids do enjoy doing, is painting.

Kids love anything that’s a little messy, so why not encourage yours to offer their services as a painter or decorator?

Now, we’re not expecting your child to be an expert in what is a respected trade, but any surfaces that only require relatively crude paint application – such as a plain wall, a fence or a shed – could easily be painted by a youngster in exchange for a little cash.
