Shop All Summer Β· Money Play Β· Activity 1
How to play: point to each coin and count out loud together by tens β β10, 20, 30β¦β β then write the total in the box. This is the same counting your child does at the game's Coin Shop.
Each πͺ is worth 10 pretend coins β the same prices as the game's Coin Shop! Grown-up tip: if counting by tens is new, count the first row by pointing together, then let your child lead the rest.

How to play: cut out the tags and set up a pretend shop with real things from around home (a cup of water is fancy lemonade!). Your child is the shopkeeper; pay with buttons, blocks, or paper coins. Two tags are blank so your child can price their own goods β there's no wrong price, but ask βwhy that much?β and listen.
βοΈ Cut along the dashed lines. Take turns being shopkeeper and customer β asking for change (βI'm paying with 50 β what do I get back?β) is great practice for older kids.

How to play: pick something your child wants to save for (in the game, at home, or a family treat). Color one coin circle each time they save instead of spend β when the jar is full, celebrate! This matches the ββ Save up for itβ goal in the game's Coin Shop.
Grown-up tip: waiting for something good is the heart of saving. Talking about the wait (β12 coins already β how many more to go?β) matters more than the prize itself.
Shop All Summer Β· Keepsake Β· Activity 4
How to play: every month, Sunny Bay throws a little festival and your child earns that month's charm in the game. When it happens, color that charm in and write the year underneath β a whole year of play on one page! Festivals come back every year, so no charm is ever missed for good.
Grown-up tip: this doubles as a gentle calendar talk β "which festival is next? how many months away is that?" Months, seasons, and waiting, all in one keepsake.
