CDMOD Grocery lets kids practice sorting, counting and decision-making skills as they shop, re-stock and ring up each other's grocery purchases.

What's the Best Way to Help Here?
Remember the children in our lives have been watching our behavior for quite awhile! Please help them to:

Respect the other children in these places.
Cooperative play is necessary.

If you take items out, please put them back in the appropriate places. Ice Cream goes in the Dairy Section, dog food in the Pet food section, etc.

If you're with a group, please use the shopping lists outside the door.
If you are a family try not to encourage them to fill their shopping cart to overflowing-- remember you will be responsible for helping put things back.

Learning to run the cash registers can be fun. If your child can read, follow the bird cartoon for directions. If your child is not reading as of yet it will be necessary for you to coach her/him.

 

  Discovery Questions:
Can they show you the differences in items such as canned or boxed products in the store or vegetables on the pizza list? How do you count money or make change? What foods are best for you? Why?
