We partner with the Acton Children’s Business Fair organizations as we are both engaged in inspiring children to discover their inner entrepreneurial spirit. Acton Children’s Business Fair is the largest entrepreneurship event for kids in North America. this one-day market gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.

ABC's Kid Kreations Studio (KKS) welcomes all kid business owners under 18 to join the entrepreneur fair. KKS members will receive priority registration and any available slots will be opened to the general public. Our goal is to host everyone who wishes to participate. Registration fee is $25 per person.
Please send all registration requests and questions to: KidKreationsStudioInfo@gmail.com.

Start with our resources page. Read inspiring stories about other young entrepreneurs and play games to hone your business skills.

Application must be submitted online. Please submit one application for each business. Children working as a group should submit one application that includes each child’s information. No more than 3 participants per business.

The application asks kids to think through some simple, but important elements of their business:

What product or service do you plan to sell?
What price will you charge for each product/service? How much will each product/service cost you?
How will you pay for your startup costs? If someone is helping you with your startup costs, how will you pay that person back?
How will you advertise/market your business before the fair?
At the end of the fair, how will you determine if your business was a success?

Two cupcake businesses? Not a problem. In general, we will let market forces play out, though we will let later entries know if another applicant has a similar idea so the later entrant can decide what to do.
Please keep in mind that due to limits in the available number of booths, duplicates will be handled on a first come, first served basis, with priority given to members. In the event that additional space is available, duplicate business owners will be notified.

The fair will be an indoor event with booths.
Each business will be given a booth with an 8-foot table and 1-2 chairs. Table cloths are required, and will not be provided. We are not able to accommodate businesses requiring electricity at this time.

This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product or service. If a parent is found selling or promoting a child’s product or service, their child’s business will be disqualified from future participation.

Parents of younger children may sit in the booth, but the children should be responsible for set up, customer interaction, and sales.

Parents may help their child fill out the application, but we expect the children to do as much as possible by themselves.

Jeff and Laura Sandefer and a few other families wanted to spark a sense of wonder and entrepreneurship in their children so they created the first Acton Children’s Business Fair in Austin, Texas, in 2007. That year, there were seven entrepreneurs and around 25 attendees. Now, there are over 115 entrepreneurs and 1,500 attendees at the Acton Children's Business Fair in Austin.
