Ykaie, Cyra, and Cyvrine had a Garage Sale in fron t of the house last week. They sold old toys, headbands, wallets, and whatnots which they don’t like anymore. These are things accumulated when we moved in to our new house a month ago. We chose the toys that Ykaie still liked and those that she doesn’t like anymore were thrown in a big box and set aside. The toys in the big box are those that were sold at this kiddie garage sale.
Things were sold for a very cheap price. Some are only priced at ₱1! Some are for ₱5 and ₱10, the most expensive ones.
I remember how much fun Ykaie had when she had he first garage sale (Garage Sale ni Ykaie) back in 2010 when she was still 2 years old!
I also have fun looking after them during their garage sale. I love how they anwswer when someone asks them how much an item is. I believe the garage sale teaches them enterpreneurial drive even subconsciously. Hey, they’re just children and I know to them all of these are just play.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. True. Many of our kid’s neighbors, mommies, and lolas also bought some toys, headbands, and wallets for their kids. In just two hours, 90% of the items were sold and each of them got ₱100 shares.
Ykaie’s ₱100 went straight to her coin bank. She had fun and to her that ₱100 is already a big amount of money.
The next day, a couple of these children knocked on our door, yelling Ykaie’s name. They asked Ykaie if there were some items left from the garage sale because they wanted to buy more.. heehee…
Ang cute naman. 100 pesos isn’t bad, that would motivate her to do it again next time.
How cute, you gave me a nice idea on how can i teach my child to become responsible and to work with fun.
Congrats on their garage sale. It’s nice that they learn this concept while they are young.
We’ve been planning to hold a garage sale since last year but until now it hasn’t pushed through yet. Haha! The kids looked like they had a lot of fun. Great way to teach them how to be entrepreneurial.
Haha so cool – its cute for kids having the experience of a garage sale – I never experienced that before lol!
I also want to have a garage sale here in our house or donate the toys to the children. This is a great start to train your child to help those in need in a little way.
Sigh…I have a confession to make. I am quick to discard stuff when we’re no longer using them because I can’t stand collecting a lot of stuff in the house. Now I wish I haven’t done that and thought about doing this with the kids. Such a good learning experience.
I think the kids really had a great time as well.
Awww cute naman! I’ve been planning for us to have a garage sale at home, too, pero hindi kami natutuloy.
i used to hold garage sales before until a fire razed our home burning everything i own. anyways, cute kids! and i commend them for being entrepreneurial at such young ages! 🙂
We still haven’t been able to plan for our garage sale. The weather is not cooperating. But the kids are bugging me about it already. Really hope we’ll get to have one soon.
Galing naman! Masaya na ang mga bata, may kita pa. 🙂
Kakatuwa naman. Kid entrepreneur! We sell naman our daughter’s preloved items sa IG and the proceeds go to her bank account.
Sabi nga nila, start ’em young! 🙂
Wow, this is really a nice idea. Thank you. I might ask my kids to do the same. They have so many things that I find a waste to throw.
