I no longer have teens, but this brings back memories.
My most creative daughter is the one who is now a C.P.A. of all things and just gave birth to my new granddaughter. When she was about twelve, she needed money for something so she decided to have a carnival in our back yard.
She got old appliance boxes and made up all kinds of games and side shows lined up around the fence.
Since profit was the motive, she decided to make salt dough prizes. She made some really cute things and all was going well until some of the dough fell on the heating element in the oven and shorted the whole stove out.
Overall, very profitable for her and very unprofitable for me.
She also made some weird mixture of dish soap and baby powder that she somehow convinced her friends was "Special dog shampoo". She sold it to make money while I was recovering from surgery.
She's always been Way too creative, but more fun than a magic show.

But we laugh at that now.
