Learning about money from books is boring and only invites yawn and daydream, and also frustrations to both parent and kids. So we are going on the learning through playing approach.
Printed some 'money' for the kids to put in their toy cashier and also made a menu for the 'customer' to select their food from. It was fun taking pictures of the toy food and making the menu. I had no idea we have so much varieties of food available.
These are some of our menu :
Breakfast set. A set of this cost you RM12.
Whole cake costs RM35. A slice is RM12.
The menu
The kids and I took turn to be the cashier, waitress and customers. It was fun and they were very serious in their work. The maths and concept about money become much easier to grasp. Most importantly, we are spending quality time together.
