Trading Day will be on Monday August 1st at 6pm at the grassy area near your home. Everyone bring a picnic style dinner.
We will have a currency exchange so all the kids have the same type of "money" to use.
Bring tables,blanket,signs... any items for your kids to set up their shop. They can bring items from home, treats and goodies, anything you want to get rid of.
Please put prices on your items. The dollar tree has the little garage sale sticker tags.
Earning "money"- Your "money" can be 3 different colored beans, colored popsicle sticks..decorative pebbles, buttons etc.
You can use any type of "money" to pay out to your kids during the summer. We use rocks in amounts of 1,10,100..then everything should be added up before trading day. You come to the currency exchange and let us know the amount each child deserves to be "paid" out.
Here are some ideas we came up with and reasonable amounts for them. You come up with your own. Everyone has different things they are trying to encourage in their own home.
