The Candy Floss was definitely a big hit with over 400 units sold and our chocs and sweets Kebabs weren't too bad either but one thing I did notice was that parents were very aware of the sugar content and because we only made them small they were quite happy to part with their $ in order to assist us with our fundraising to Hawaii.
When two other families joined and added another table, we were also able to offer homemade chocolate chip cookies and chocolate crunch in packets as well as a small combo package with a truffle, rice bubble crunch etc. A very neat time for all.
I think it's most important to teach our young ones about working for something that they would love (delayed gratification) and to teach a good work ethic but also about setting up a business or businesses to allow our children to think outside the square in order to consider different options for the future.
This is far different thinking from when I was at school and we were expected to look for a job and be a good employee. I encourage children whenever I'm out and about to think outside the box about a business that they would like to set up be a (self) published writer, a profession and start with something that they like to do.
I must say that at the end of the day, I was totally knackered (tired out) and happy to see it through. If definitely went a long way to assisting with fundraising for Hawaii but also in setting up our children for a future in business....
