Pretend Store!






To reiterate what we were learning about coin values, we decided to set up a pretend store in the playroom, where Lola was the shopkeeper and I was the customer. We used all the play coins from another money game that we have and Lola used her cash register. I pretended to purchase a toy and she would tell me the price. Whatever the price of the toy, we came up with as many different formulations of the amount as we could. For example, if the toy cost 60 cents, we would count out 2 quarters & a dime, or 6 dimes, or 12 nickels.
