Made by children, from start to finish
The Children’s Craft Fair began in 2015 with a simple idea. Children make their own crafts, sell them at prices other children can afford, and give the money to children’s charities.
The making and the selling are left to the children. Adults are there to support, not to step in. We are not looking for perfect. We are looking for children being children, with work that suits their age.
This year’s theme is sustainability. Crafters are encouraged to use reused and recycled materials, like cardboard packaging, fabric offcuts, bottle caps and egg cartons, and to share where their materials came from.
- 80 young craftersAged 5 to 17, selling at shared tables and at booths built from sustainable materials.
- Every item $10 and belowWhole-dollar prices only, so each $1 voucher works like a dollar.
- Free to come inEveryone is welcome to visit, support and shop.

Children have been doing this since 2015
Every fair so far has raised over $1,000 for each beneficiary, through the children’s own effort. After a break from 2020 to 2023, the fair returned in 2024.
In June 2025, three homeschooling teens organised the fair themselves. It was featured in The Straits Times that August. The November 2025 fair at the National Gallery Singapore was the largest so far.
