Real markets.
Real young entrepreneurs.
KidsMart is a real community market where kids run their own stalls. Sell what you've made, take real payments from real customers, and find out what business actually feels like.
KidsMart is optional. It's perfect for kids with physical products or in-person services. Many Kids in Business students go online or digital instead. Both paths work.
What it's like to sell at a KidsMart
A market day designed around young sellers, not a school fete with a kids corner.
Your own stall
You set up, you serve customers, you handle the money. The stall is yours for the day.
Real customers
Strangers walk up, ask questions, and decide whether to buy. There's no shortcut to learning that.
Real money
Every sale is real. You see exactly what your product is worth and what people are willing to pay.
Real feedback
You'll hear what customers love, what confuses them, and what they want next. Gold for any young founder.
Run your day
Pricing, displays, restocks, and pitches are all your call. Mum and dad are nearby, but the stall is yours.
A community of builders
You're surrounded by other kids doing the same thing. The vibe is electric and supportive.
What kids actually walk away with
How to pitch
Greet a stranger, explain what you've made, and answer questions on the spot.
Money in the wild
Pricing, change, eftpos, profit, and the difference between revenue and what you actually keep.
Customer thinking
Spotting who's a buyer, who's just looking, and what to say to each.
Resilience
Some hours are quiet. Some pitches flop. You learn to keep going. That's the real lesson.
When markets happen
KidsMart events run on weekends throughout the year, hosted by community organisers in towns and suburbs across Australia. New markets are added regularly as more local organisers come on board.
