Winter Jobs for Kids

You may want to save up to buy Christmas presents this year or for a summer vacation with your family. Take advantage of the opportunities to make some extra cash during school holidays.

  1. Shovel

    • Shovel for extra cash this winter. This is a simple job that many people will be more than willing to pay someone else to do. You also get lots of exercise while you are doing it.

    Grocery Shopping

    • Go grocery shopping for the elderly. You may know some older people in your neighborhood who may have a hard time getting outside when it̵7;s below freezing and the snow is piling up, even if the grocery store is walking distance. This is a good time to do something good for someone while making a bit of cash. Your mom may increase your allowance for helping out with groceries during the busy holiday season too.

    Craft Shows

    • Craft shows or holiday bazaars are booming in the winter because people are always looking for handmade gifts they can buy for others for Christmas. If you have a talent like making jewelry, baking, knitting or scrapbooking, then sell it. You and your mom could do it together, or she could help you with the set up. Some craft shows charge a fee, but many churches or community center bazaars are low cost or free to participate. You could actually earn a substantial amount of money depending on how motivated you are and how many shows you participate in.

    Retail

    • If you are a teenager, you are in luck. Most retail stores hire extra people for the Christmas season. It is purely a temporary job. You can name your own hours and often get a discount on the merchandise, so pick a store that might interest you.
