Get ready for a fun-filled day of creativity, community, and craftsmanship at our 5th Annual Kids Market! This special event is all about empowering young creators.
At the Kid-Made Market, children not only get the opportunity to share their unique creations with the public but also have the chance to trade their goods with fellow young makers—encouraging a spirit of collaboration and excitement.
Adults are invited to come and support these budding entrepreneurs who have poured their hearts into creating something with their own hands. Every purchase helps them learn the value of hard work, creativity, and business skills!
If your children would like to participate as a “vendor”:
Please let me know asap. If not, PLEASE come and support the young creators! It’s so fun to have other kids and adults come admire (and purchase their craft, art, and baked goods.)
This is seriously the highlight of my children’s year and they have been busy creating pottery, tea, dyed goods, and more.
If your children would like to participate, they are welcome to bring any handmade items to sell or trade. In keeping with the spirit of a traditional handicraft fair, please ensure that all creations are made by hand — no old toys or pre-made items like LEGO builds, as we want to encourage creativity and craftsmanship.
Some ideas from the past: ornaments, teas, candles, wooden blocks, terrariums, baked goods, homemade candy, mazes, jewelry, cards, art, knitted hats, scarves, dyed towels, soap, wands, bath bombs, Christmas villages, play dough, sewed dolls and stuffies, potions, games, etc.
The kids work hard and do make some special things.
What to Expect:
Handmade creations: Everything for sale has been lovingly crafted by children, from delicious baked treats and rock candy to pottery, wall hangings, and custom cards.
Kid-to-kid trading: Children are encouraged to trade their creations with each other, fostering community and the joy of sharing.
A celebration of creativity: Watch as the next generation of artisans, crafters, and small business owners thrive in an environment that supports their innovation.
When: November 20th, 2:30pm-4:30pm (if your children are “vendors” you can arrive at 2:00 to set up.)
Where: Ferment Brewing, Hood River (in their event space or possibly on the deck if we have a lot of kids participating.)
Bring your family, invite your friends, and support the next generation of creators at the 5th Annual Kid-Made Market!
If your child would like to participate with their own booth, please contact Amanda.
