Playing with Real Money!

Heather over at Blog, She Wrote found a great way to help teach change values.

This website has the cutest cards to print off, cut out and laminate. You can choose from Candy, McDonald's, Christmas, Eye Glasses and Pet Shop. There are circles where your child puts the change and they can self check by the size of the circle. The Pet Shop cards are my favorite. I will also be printing off a set of the Candy Store Cards for my two little Shop Keepers that are constantly raiding the cabinet to set up a store. Speaking of which, one day I overheard my 3 year old say to my 5 year old daughter, "Sissy, you need to pretend that your husband likes yummy things and buy the Oreos!".
