Want to jump into Lemonade Lane Kids Market but not sure how to get started? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Whether your kiddo already has a big idea or just a spark of curiosity, we can help you get there.
Big Lemons (a.k.a. adults), take a deep breath—this doesn’t have to be complicated.
The market is about kids having fun, sharing their creativity and learning as they go. The learning will come naturally along the way. Your job is just to keep it simple and cheer them on. 🌟
Let’s Talk Vision
When you and your little lemon are getting started, the very first step is to think about why they want to do the market. Sometimes it’s all about the fun of trying something new. Other times it’s to raise money for a goal, or just to see if people like their idea. Whatever the reason, this “why” can become the vision for their booth. It can also help you to stay focused on what your kiddo’s goal is and not your own if you know what we mean.
Next comes the spark of an idea. Some kids already know exactly what they want to sell. Others might need a little inspiration. A great place to start is by looking at what they already enjoy doing—whether it’s a hobby, a craft, something they can make or even a way to creatively package things they’ve bought. The market is about turning those interests into something shareable.
Once that idea is in place, it’s time to make it real. This is where kids get to flex their creativity by naming their business, coming up with a fun name for their product and planning how they want to share it with the world. This planning stage doesn’t have to be complicated—sometimes the simplest setups are the most successful.
And then, of course, there’s the excitement of getting ready for market day. From making a sign to figuring out how to take payments, every booth needs a few basics to get going. We’ve put all of that into a Getting Started Checklist that you can download below and use as your guide.
The number one rule when you’re thinking about getting started is to just keep things simple so kids can focus on the fun of creating and selling.
Adults—a.k.a the Big Lemons—your role is to support, not stress. This isn’t about building a perfect business; it’s about helping your child try something new, learn by doing, and celebrate the process.
