Or...since they're still young and allowances might not be a big deal right now, maybe they can chores where they aren't paid? At the very least, keeping their personal areas (bedrooms and playroom) clean is something that they'll have to do for the rest of their lives--without getting paid!
As long as they are still respectful of authority and don't complain too much when you ask them to do something that's out of the ordinary, then you don't really have anything to worry about. If they understand that there are negative consequences to behaving badly, and behave accordingly, then they aren't spoiled.
