Kid’s Holiday Market

We are looking for children ages 5-15 who would love to make a little extra money over the holidays.  I know there are a lot of creative kiddos out there and what better way to set them up for a future of success is to show them how to be an entrepreneur.

Kid’s Market is all kid businesses.  They are invited to attend our “How to Start Your Own Business” class where they learn the basics of starting a business and develop some business knowledge in order to maximize their success.  Today’s kids are tomorrow’s economy.  We want to encourage kids to want to be successful and independent.  Starting their own business will allow them to learn how to market, merchandize, price, promote, and develop a product or service that people will want.

Our Holiday Kid’s Market is just in time for the holidays.  There will be holiday themed décor and products, as well as unique wonderful gifts to buy for those special people in your life.

  • Venue will be announced closer to the event but it will be in Georgetown or Round Rock
  • Be sure to sign up for our event notification if you would like to be notified as soon as booth sales opens

Kid-Author Writing Workshop

Posted on by

FREE event to help give your kiddos a jump start on getting ready to get back to school. This workshop will be focusing on an end product of creating their very own comic book. We will be creating our leading character with an instructed draw of a superhero. This can be used as their main character, or just a vision of them being empowered to be a “Super Hero Writer”. We will be developing a story frame and begin putting our ideas in our comic book. They will leave with all that they need to finish their comic book, which should take them a few days to finalize. Once they are finished we are going to do an author feature, where your author will be able to present their story to an audience (not required, but an option). I have found that young authors love to share their stories to an audience which builds confidence and excitement in writing.

This class’ objective is to get your child inspired to create and to write. Sentence structure will be discussed, but not the focus for this workshop. Many times just getting their ideas out without the frustration of getting sentence structures correct deters them from wanting to write at all and often will give up entirely. We want to inspire them to create more.

There is limited seating for this event so you will need to register your child, but there is no cost for the event.

Hope to see you there.
