Busy Marketis a reusable pretend-play shopping kit for ages 3–6. Kids match and sort Velcro fruits and veggies on a 2.4-ft fold-out supermarket board, then use lists, baskets, a spinner, number tokens, and a sliding cash counter to shop, weigh, add, and pay with play money. Along the way they build fine motor skills, early math, color recognition, decision-making, language, and confidence through real-world role play. Screen-free, mess-free, teacher-friendly, and gift-ready.
Market day fun that teaches real skills– shop, sort, weigh, and pay, building everyday decision-making, counting, and early math.
6 activities in 1– colour sorting, matching, spinner games, list-based shopping, counting, and imaginative roleplay.
Montessori-inspired learning– from matching Velcro foods to using the rotating scale, every step builds independence, confidence, and logical thinking.
Reusable, sturdy, and engaging– durable boards, Velcro stickers, and realistic accessories for endless pretend play.
Perfect gift for ages 3–6– educational, screen-free fun loved by kids and trusted by parents.
Set up your market – unfold the 2.4-ft supermarket board, place Velcro fruits and vegetables, and get baskets, play money, and the cash counter ready. 2. Match & sort – start by matching foods to their spots or sorting by colour. 3. Play the spinner game – spin for a colour and a number, then collect that many matching fruits or vegetables for your basket. 4. Weigh & count – weigh the items you collected (e.g., 2 bananas and 4 cucumbers). Add the matching number tokens to your basket, then slide the counter on the scale to add up your number tokens and reveal your total. 5. Shop & pay – play out your shopping trip by adding your total or subtracting change on the wipe-erasable cash register, then pay with play money. 6. Swap & repeat – take turns being the shopkeeper or customer for endless pretend play.
