If your dad will let you borrow the lawn mower, that's the fastest way for a 12 year old to get spare cash. Just go around and ask your neighbors (especially those that are much older or extremely busy) if you could mow their lawn. I used to mow four lawns plus my parents when growing up and cleared about 75 dollars a week after taking out costs.

well in the summer you could detassle, but since it isnt summer, you can try to get a paper route, or you can go to www.metacafe.com and post a video, if you have 1,000 views you get $5, if you have 2000 views then you get $100, if you get like a million views they you get $1,000, or something like that. its pretty easy and all you need is a camera to video tape something, and if you dont have that then make a slid show with paint and put it in windows movie maker. U could also go and rake leavs for old ppl, mow lawns, or voulneter to help people whenever they are haveing trouble carrying stuff and they might give you a few bucks. all the money helps.
Hope this helps and good luck raising the money

im about 11 close enough age, anyway this is what you need to do to get lotsa cash quick! Ask for permission for a yardsale and if yes, find all the stuff you dont want and asighn a time. make sighns and put them up saying that theres a yard sale at your house and put arrows directing people to your house. Tell all your friends about it to. After you have your yardsale, the next day Go around asking people if you can mow there lawns for a price of 1 to about 6 dollars. ( or if they have a completely HUGE lawn go for maybe ten) anyway the next day At the least 50 dollars. If not, look up how to get cash on the internet, trust me, it works! anyway after the lawn mowing, just do the good old fashion lemonade and tea selling! Or if its cold hot chocolate. Do you knit? do you have lots of useless or not used any things that you knitted? sell them! after that if you dont have the money do what i said earlier and look up "how to get cash for kids" I hope this helps!

Get some garbage bags and start picking up aluminum cans. Ask the neighbors and friends to save them for you too. Take them to the recycling center and then by your toy.

try getting a job, that way you can buy whatever you want and dont have to relie on your parents for cash.
you can even go out with your friends and have fun.

Maybe you could have a yard sale. Ask for permission first.

try having a yard sale, or a bake sale, or a car wash.
