Everything you need to get started.

Guides, plans and games to help young entrepreneurs go from “I have an idea” to a booth at the fair. All free, all built for children.

Unsure where to start?

Our advice is to keep it simple. Three questions get most children to a real idea.

What can you make? Think about what you can make with your own hands that others might enjoy.
How would you sell it? Picture the booth, the sign, the price, and the person walking up to buy.
What happens after? Imagine the feeling, and the responsibility, of having a little extra spending money as a result.

Print these out, sit down together, and work through them.
