13. Fence/house painting
This is an enormously interesting job, that’s up next in our list of best paying summer jobs for 10, 11, and 12 year olds, and you don’t need more than a brush to do this, but mostly everything is provided by the people who want something to be painted. That may be fence, or some smaller parts of the house, and if you care about details and don’t mind having paint all over yourself, this is a great job that can be paid $10 per hour, which is the reason why it is on our list of best-paying summer jobs for 10, 11, and 12-year-olds.
