Spending their MONEY at the Zoo ~ Mission Complete!

Finally, the day S and T had been waiting 2 weeks for! Our second trip to the zoo. They worked so hard and learned so much through this whole process(if you missed the last 2 days click here and here).

On our way out of the zoo, we stopped at the gift shop.  S and T picked out what they wanted and then we headed to the cashier.   I let each of them pay the cashier with their money.  They were so proud to be walking out of the store holding a bag that held what they had bought.

My girls play with stuffed animals more than toys, so their purchases did not surprise me at all!

Tips to maximize learning:  1. Explain that each item has a price and what the price is for.    2. Talk about the different prices between items(which item costs more or less).
