Do you know a budding entrepreneur? Perhaps a little girl or boy who’s already scheming for next summer’s lemonade stand? These gifts will help keep young minds sharp and primed to take on the world.
Lemonade stand
Lemonade stands are the classic go-to trope for kid entrepreneurs, and with setups like these, we can totally see why — it’s adorable. Your kiddo can use it indoors to practice their lemonade-slinging skills for those long summer days ahead. (Amazon, $57)
Monopoly Ultimate Banking
Traditional Monopoly is a terrific gift, of course, but this modern-day take on the classic board game helps get kids ready for their future with debit cards. (Amazon, $16)
Cash register
Even though cash is rarer these days, kids still dig it. This realistic cash register comes with fake money, fake debit cards and pretend food, and it also has a freakin’ scanner, which kids love. (Amazon, $19)
Grocery fruit and veggie stall
Another adorable awning? Sign us up! This super-cute grocery stand lets kids hawk their fruits and veggies to friends and family. (Amazon, $70)
Electronic bank
This fancy “piggy” bank is a little more advanced than the usual drop-a-penny-in-the-slot variety. Kids have to access the innards via a password, so it helps them learn how to save their dollars, and it will even gobble up their paper money like a real machine would. (Amazon, $20)
Money Bags coin value game
This board game does a good job of teaching kids about coin values and how many ways you can make $1. (Amazon, $12)
Whiteboard
Those in finance and business use whiteboards on the regular, and so can your kids as they plan out their next enterprise. (Amazon, $32)
Snap Circuits
Encouraging a young entrepreneur doesn’t mean you only need to buy gifts that directly relate to buying and selling. Kids need to keep their minds sharp, and a unique kit like this one from Snap Circuits can accomplish not only that, but it may help set them up for a future as an electronics entrepreneur. Nice! (Amazon, $32)

If your kid’s a book lover, this four-in-one set about a kid entrepreneur is sure to inspire him or her along the way. (Amazon, $12)
Ultimate business guide
This handy-dandy kit geared toward girls comes with all the info your child will need to start their own business, and it makes more grown-up business topics understandable. (Amazon, $16)
Ice cream shop
Here’s a full-on ice cream shop, complete with tiny cones and fake money — and a stand! We want one. Now. (Amazon, $40)
Babysitting kit
Preteens and teens starting out on their road to riches will probably first set their sights on babysitting. This quirky kit has what your young babysitter needs to get their business off on the right foot. (Amazon, $30)
The Next Big Idea card game
This card game may be more appropriate for older kids (think teens) — it’ll get their creative juices flowing as they play with their friends. Who can come up with the best business idea? (Amazon, $26)
Entrepreneur Barbie
Barbie has held all sorts of jobs, from the family vet to a teacher to a scientist. She also happens to be an entrepreneur, as evidenced by this awesome doll. She comes complete with a tablet, her smartphone and a briefcase. She’s ready for that next big pitch! (Amazon, $19)
Food truck
Food trucks are all the rage (probably because they’re often serving up delicious foods). This set from Walmart lets your budding entrepreneur and their 18-inch doll wheel and deal right in their very own bedroom. (Walmart, $99)
