It was the first week of school and instead of cracking open the math books, we learned about money through games and recognition practice, counting and ultimately, purchasing at our "store".
During our school time, Oliver is quite into his learning but often wanders over to more important matters :)
money cans
Everyone had a turn being cashier.
They could not purchase an item unless they counted the correct amount (and the older ones had to know what change they'd get back).
Gratitude:
