Your Own Store
Activity, Stage 1 – Numbers up to 5
Kids love to play store! Create tags with silly prices that are small numbers. If your child hasn’t learned the numerals yet, you can use quantities of dots on the tags.
Put price tags on things in your home (toys, food, books, etc.) Use pieces of paper that have ‘1’ marked on them as pretend money to spend on things in the store.
After each ‘purchase,’ have your child count out the number of bills to pay for it and then count out how much money is left.
