Three entrepreneurial children have set up their own shop.
Jake Tolson, six, Jamie Hume, 11, and 14-year-old Luke Hume, all of King's Road, Halstead, began trading along their road on Saturday, selling drinks, sweets, loom bands and world cup stickers to passers-by.
Jamie, who will start at Hedingham in September, said: "We just came up with the idea as something to do over summer.
"We made £1.70 when we opened on Saturday but hopefully we will make some more."
