Keychains are one of the best-kept secrets of kid entrepreneurship. They cost pennies to make, sell all year round, and fly off the table at craft fairs, school markets, and everywhere friends carry backpacks. The Keychain Business Launch Kit turns that opportunity into a step-by-step adventure your kid can actually complete.
This isn't a coloring book with a business theme. It's a real launch plan, sized for ages 8–12, built on the same 7 missions every Boss Kid business follows: Plan It, Make It, Brand It, Price It, Set It Up, Sell It, and Track It. Your Boss Kid will choose their keychain style, beaded, clay, or shrink plastic, design a starting collection of three, name their shop, figure out exactly what one keychain costs to make, and set prices that actually earn a profit. Then comes the biggest secret of keychain sellers everywhere: custom orders. Name keychains, team colors, matching sets for a whole friend group, customs are where the real money is, and this kit includes three ready-to-use Custom Order Forms your kid can hand to actual customers.
By the last page, your kid won't just have a bag of keychains. They'll have priced a product, tracked every sale, hit their break-even point (without it ever feeling like a math worksheet), and reviewed what to restock and what to retire, real inventory thinking, kid-sized.
Print it at home, grab supplies in one store trip (about $10–$20), and let your Boss Kid build.
