I set the booth up with a large table at one end where I can work on a project. I am regularly assured that I sell more when I am there. People stop and ask about what I am making or what a piece they are attracted is made of and how it is made. Children are especially attracted to the bright and shiney and the wonder of watching. And while they watch they call their mother to see. One important reminder, never take advantage of the young persons desire to have. Remind them they need their parents permission. Watch for clues as to how far to take it with the parent, in their tone, and in their posture. I always keep a basket of items under $5 and include several items (usually bought for resale) suitable for youngsters. I sell my jewelry from a consignment booth.
