Market Day, Worked Out

Market Day, Worked Out is a practical guide for parents of children aged 6 to 12 who are preparing for a school Market Day. It helps families move beyond simply choosing something to sell and work through the numbers behind a successful stall, including the cost of each item, the right selling price, how many items to make and the number of sales needed to break even. The guide uses Australian examples, including a worked bookmark stall based on a $20 school loan, and covers practical Market Day ideas, age appropriate responsibilities, food considerations, a three week preparation plan, pricing and selling decisions, what to do after the event, and a printable one page stall planner. The focus throughout is on helping children understand the decisions behind their stall while giving parents a clear framework for supporting them without taking over the project.
