Enterprising children sell products at kids market

Exciting experience: Some of the participants of Kids MarketPlace were selling cupcakes.

KIDS MarketPlace 2014 which took place at the Main Place Mall, USJ21 recently provided an extraordinary opportunity for children aged eight to 12 years to showcase their entrepreneurial skills.

Organised by Group Mad and presented by Hong Leong Bank to foster the entrepreneurial spirit and capacity among children, Kids MarketPlace 2014 saw 35 teams comprising 70 enterprising “kid-preneurs” tirelessly trying to outdo each other by selling a variety of imaginative products such as do-it-yourself cupcakes, essential oils, handmade rainbow looms, accessories, games and face-painting activities to supportive parents and delighted weekend shoppers.
