In addition to some of the above, I pay for extra piano practice and extra math worksheets.
My oldest started learning to play the piano after he saw the money his little brother was making practicing

My kids have been doing this since around that age. I pay per matched pair.

Between .50 or $1 mostly. I pay $2 for wiping the door knobs, devices and light switches down, but she has to do every single one in the house. I also pay $2 for walking the dog with a parent.

I pay my 7 year old son to keep my 3 year old busy in our basement for an hour while I do chores while our infant naps. He gets a dollar an hour which he eventually blows at Target.

You could probably show a 6 yo how to make toast and coffee.
He actually is pretty handy in the kitchen and loves to cook. I love the idea of paying him to cook dinner for us. Maybe I'll try that this weekend with grilled cheese and tomato soup.
I love this so much.

I paid my son to pick up the dog poop from the back yard. He made $5 in 10 minutes, which isn't bad money! I just didn't want to go outside
Now he does it as part of his daily chores (except on rainy days when it is just nasty work; DH does it) and we upped his weekly allowance for the gross factor.

go through all of the pens, pencils, and markers in the house -- throw out pens/markers that are dead, sharpen broken/dull pencils

Out of nowhere today my 6 year old announced he wants to work every day to make money.
We haven't done any allowance or anything with him yet. I want to come up with a list of chores he can do daily that are above and beyond the normal stuff.
I'd also like to add other one-off items on the list like raking leaves.
Any ideas?
