Learning about money

The kids have made piggy banks {from the dollar store} and over the past few weeks they have earned .05 cents everytime they did certain chores.

They counted up their money (aided)

They each had $1.25

I almost felt guilty. They have been working SO hard. They are 3&4 though so they don't really need much more. 

Tonight we took them to the corner store to spend some of their money. They chose the candy. They counted it. They gave the lady the candy and there money. It was quite the learning experience. They both spent around .45 cents.

All in all they LOVED it and came home even more eager to do chores!!!
