Learning Resources Pretend and Play Supermarket Set

How do you educate kids about money? There are a lot of things you can do – teach them money identification when they come shopping with you, explain that items at stores are not free and neither is money from the ATM, and teach them about saving. But that all sounds a bit dreary, doesn’t it?

Introducing grown-up concepts through play is much more fun, and the Pretend and Play Supermarket Set from Learning Resources packs in plenty of learning with the pretend-play. Kids love trying on adult roles, so they’ll enjoy taking turns being the cashier and the customer; kids love the included apron! Kids can select from various toy food items, and then pay the store employee with the realistic play money.

Tons of fun accessories are included in the Learning Resources Pretend and Play Supermarket Set: the apron has a name tag that kids can personalize, and they can advertise food items on dry-erase store signs; the colorful supermarket shopping baskets fit plenty of cardboard play food packages, which are designed to be easily recognized even by pre-readers; and the money is realistic, with both paper and coins, and even includes a credit card!

Playing with the Pretend and Play Supermarket Set lets kids try on adult roles for imaginative scenarios, and encourages cooperative social play. The various items in the play store set can be combined with other toys your child has, too – they can incorporate a cash register, or their play kitchen, or try to “sell” other toys. And the Supermarket Set encourages kids to learn about denominations of money and how to make change, without needing to be prodded by Mom and Dad to learn about money. See how that works? Learning can be fun with Learning Resources! For ages 3 and up.
