Color Camp Summer Craft Series: Pretend Money

Merriment Design
It’s our last week of Color Camp!
Color Camp is a weekly series of summer paper crafts that kids and caregivers can make together. I designed a pretend farmer’s market playset for you with four parts:
Week 1: Fruit friends paper dolls
Week 2: Market stand from a upcycled milk or juice carton
Week 3: Fruit and veggies to sell at the stand
Week 4: Pretend money
This week, we’re making pretend money to buy fruits and veggies at our farmers market stand. I designed fun Market Money featuring bananas, cherries, apples and pears.
This is an easy print-and-cut activity for kids. Just print my Market Money onto ASTROBRIGHTS® cardstock paper, cut along the lines, and start playing! Kids can set their own prices for fruits and veggies for sale and practice making change for fruit friends customers.
Your Farmers Market playset is now complete. Thank you so much for joining me for Color Camp. Have a grape time playing pretend with your colorful Farmer’s Market Playset!
