“Money” is one topic in the primary one syllabus and to teach my seven year old about money, I let him “make” his own paper money, consisting of coins and paper notes. He had fun making them and counting the total he owns too.
Then, it was time for a city tour. We pretended to visit the restaurant where my son could order his food and foot the bill using “his money”. Then, we went to the boutique where he bought his shirt and pants. Next, we went to the stationery shop, book shop, pharmacy, sundry shop and supermarket.
Our own version of supermarket
He had fun choosing and picking his favorite things and paying for them while I had fun looking at him learn the places in the city as well as addition and subtraction of money.

I really do admire you for your quality time with your kids. and you have !! I have only 2 and find myself out of time to do anything constructive with them. Do you have a trick to share? I mean, I am exhausted by the time I cook, clean up the kitchen, feed the kid,bath them and put them to bed or to nap, I can't think straight anymore, ha ha.
what happened to the words "you have 3!!" ? I must have mis-clicked somewhere !
Jo-n, u are always full of ideas!!
