For one of Eric's classes, he had to come up with a product to sell, but it had to be made from supplies he already owned. And he couldn't just sell one of his old toys either. It had to be something that people would want, so it had to have value. He spent several days wondering (and worrying) about what he would sell. Finally on the last day, he and Todd came up with the idea to make wooden swords out of paint sticks. It was actually pretty genius. :)
He made 5 swords, spray painting each one a different color. Pretty cool, eh? :)
Then Eric took pictures of Todd and Kyle fighting with the swords and posted them on social media. He advertised to all his friends that he was selling them for $1 each.
Who wouldn't want one of these???
We had a ward social that evening and he decided to bring them to the party to see if he could sell them. Of course, lots of the kids wanted them, so the parents didn't have much of a choice. HA! :) By the time the party was over, Eric had orders for 5 more swords. Pretty cool!
I don't know if Eric will actually have time to make them, but it turned out to be a fun assignment and a good experience for him. Maybe he'll have his own business someday...you never know. :) Good job Eric!
