Look at everyday activities for informal lessons. For example, our little household makes loads of presents. Does yours? One gift is popcorn with seasoning for DIY microwave popcorn. Have your kids do a little research. Create a budget of $5 or less per gift. Have the kids price small jars for seasoning, paper bags, and bulk popcorn prices. Research recipes. Which popcorn seasoning can you make with the kitchen supplies on hand? Brainstorm ideas for labels or hand-written recipes. These types of economic lessons don’t fit neatly into a school curriculum. But, think about how practical it is for kids to learn how to budget. Call these lessons Economics and take photos.
