On our Science and discovery table we have our pretend Grocery store. We've been having a lot of fun. When they want to play I get down a bowl of pennies and we take turns shopping with our grocery basket and being the clerk. Caden loved being the clerk and saying things like "Would you like a bag?" or "Have a nice day!". We use the pennies to pay. We say "that will be five pennies please" and then count them into the clerks hand:) So fun and it is helping Caden understand the use of money to pay for things we need and some counting practice. Drake hasn't wanted to play yet but I hoping as it is out for a while he will invite me to shop:)

What's Out Wednesday!
I'm just going to post about our Science and Discovery Table today:) The other shelves have been attacked by birthday presents:)

We have also discovered the joys of setting up shop in our living area. My daughter loves to count out the money too.
ReplyDeleteThe matching book looks like fun. A great present.
This sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to practice counting, learn about money, lots of stuff! I'll have to do something similar with M!
