Kid Business Fair – Nampa, ID
This is a vendor market run completely by kids! Kids get to come up with a business idea, set up a booth, and sell their product to the public!
We encourage children ages 5-15 to participate. Have a parent sign you up for a booth then come up with a product and get ready for your big day to sell! Registration will be open soon!
Kid Business Fair is a chance for kids to explore the idea of becoming an entrepreneur. Kids come up with a business idea, make or source a product, and then have the chance to sell it to the public!

How the Market Works!
Who?
Kids ages 5 to 15 can participate. Adults can help, but the kids are the entrepreneurs!
What?
Kids can sell whatever they want! It can be handmade, store-bought, food, games or services.
Selling
Kids must do the selling! The kid is the CEO & the sales person. They are incharge of all aspects of their business.
Buying
Anyone is allowed to buy. So invite your grandparents, cousins, teachers, and friends.
Booths
Booths are a 10’x10’ space. Families bring their own supplies (table, canopy, etc).
Parents
Mom and Dad can help set up, then sit back and watch your kids do their thing!

A Learning Experience, Above All Else!
The Day of the Event: Kids will get to interact with customers, explain their product, sell it, collect money and distribute change.
It’s very helpful for every kid entrepreneur to have an adult who can mentor/help guide them throughout the process, but first and foremost, this is a learning experience for kids. The kids need to take ownership and really own the business. Parents can support each kid, (and it’s necessary that they be close by the day of the event) but we emphasize that the adults need to be as hands off as possible, monitor but let the kids do the work! Don’t jump in and sell for them! Sit back and watch them grow!
This is an educational experience, NOT a get rich scheme! Any already existing businesses typically sold by adults, (especially multi level marketing items like Tupperware, Scentsy, Lularoe, Mary Kay etc.) will not be permitted. That stuff is great, but not at our market.
