Opening The Snack Store
Lyndee gave Janney a wallet last Saturday among some other toys she was divesting of. On Sunday, Janney found a quarter, and was beside her self looking for her wallet. The wallet was finally found yesterday, and Janney couldn't find the quarter, so she swiped a few coins from daddy's desk (we'll deal with that later if it becomes an issue, we're not going to go there right now). So Janney fills up her change purse with about $1 worth of coins and was playing with them this morning. Asher wanted some coins so.. so I took some from daddy's dresser (It's not an issue with me, what's his is mine!!!) to give him.
They both were asking about the coins, so I was telling them what each one was worth. Then Janney asked for snack. I got this idea to open a snack store. I put out some items, assigned a price, and then they brought thier coins to the counter and started to buy some snacks (see, not an issue, I got the coins back in the end). I helped them to understand how much each snack cost, and how to identify the value of each coin, and they "bought" the snacks from me, and ate them right there at the counter. Asher was so into this he kept buying even though he wasn't eating them. Janney was more conservative, buying and eating, buying and eating. I think we'll do this again. It's a good learning tool to get used to money and such. Later I'll teach them about getting change, or putting two coins together to come up with the right amount to pay for the snack.. today they just gave me a nickel for what cost a nickel etc..
FUN stuff!
