The two-day fair moves away from traditional play by giving participants real-world tasks. Through the Tiny Traders program, children will operate 1×1 meter booths where they sell original products or used items. This activity requires them to handle money, talk to customers, and track their sales.

The event also offers the SM Little Crew program, where children work inside actual mall stores to learn how retail works. There is also a competition for the Top 10 Jr. Tank Shark Awards, where the best business ideas win cash prizes and a feature in a parenting magazine.
While the trading floor provides the thrill of the sale, the Kiddie Crew initiative offers a deeper look at the professional world. Participants get the unique chance to work alongside real store owners, gaining behind-the-scenes perspective on teamwork and responsibility.
The event also features a curated lineup of Interactive Workshops. These sessions move away from rote learning, focusing instead on the “soft skills” that the modern world demands like Critical Problem-Solving, Confident Communication and Collaborative Leadership.

The philosophy behind Tiny Tycoon is simple: the classroom can only take a child so far. In a world evolving at breakneck speed, the organizers believe that purposeful play is the most effective way to teach resilience and adaptability.
“In a world that’s evolving faster than ever, children need more than academic knowledge—they need the confidence to create value, lead with purpose, and adapt.” — The Tiny Tycoon Team

Whether your child is a budding artist, a young inventor, or a natural-born salesperson, Tiny Tycoon offers a platform to test their wings. Parents are encouraged to act as mentors rather than managers, allowing their children the space to lead, fail, and ultimately, succeed.
The Tiny Tycoon is happening on May 23–24, 2026 from 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM at The Podium
Families are encouraged to pre-register as slots are limited. Participants can secure a space as a Tiny Trader or join as attendees to experience the full lineup of activities, workshops, and performances.
