Kid-Run Booths

For one day, you're not just a kid with an idea — you're the owner, the salesperson, and the boss. Parents, you'll want to have your camera ready.

Creative Ideas Encouraged

Candles. Slime. Custom art. Baked goods. Friendship bracelets. Dog treats. If your child made it, grew it, or dreamed it up — there's a place for it here.

Parents Support. Kids Lead.

When a customer walks up, it's all you, kid. You answer the questions. You name the price. You make the call. Parents stay close for support — but this moment belongs to your young entrepreneur.

Real Life Experences

Real shoppers. Real decisions. Real money changing hands. This isn't a lemonade stand in the front yard — it's your child's first taste of what it actually feels like to run a business.
