A Family Seed Initiative
Sustainable Kids Miami
Gently used children's books, toy trucks and cars, and Montessori toys, sold by kids at markets around Miami. Good things find a second home, and every dollar funds our programs.
What it is
A real business, run by kids, for a real cause.
We show up at weekend and vintage markets across Miami with crates of secondhand children's books, toy trucks, cars, and natural Montessori toys. Families donate what their kids have outgrown, our young entrepreneurs price it, sell it, and count the till.
It keeps hundreds of books, trucks, cars, and wooden learning toys out of the trash, puts them in the hands of families who need them at a few dollars each, and gives kids their first taste of running a business with real customers and real money.
One hundred percent of the proceeds support The Family Seed Foundation's programs.
How it works
From your bookshelf to a kid's hands.
01
Families donate
Books your kids have outgrown and toys still full of life come to us instead of the landfill.
02
Kids run the booth
Our young entrepreneurs price the inventory, set up the table, greet customers, and handle the cash box.
03
Markets around Miami
We pop up at vintage and weekend markets across the city with a bright, kid friendly stall.
04
Proceeds fund programs
Every dollar goes back into our four week courses, pitch nights, and more classes.
