Activities linked to the storybooks...

These activities continue exploring the learning themes from the storybooks, bringing learning to life with engaging activities and building on themes from the books. Continuing the learning and starting conversations with children can support in further developing their money management skills as they grow older and begin to handle money on their own.

Ed and Bunny

A day out with Ed and Bunny

Follows on from Ed and Bunny Earn Some Money

Children will have the opportunity to discuss where money comes from and begin to understand that money is a limited resource they will learn to manage. The activity asks children to help Ed and Bunny plan a day out using the money they have saved up, working out how much the trip will cost and what they could do on their budget.

Help Bunny buy a gift!

Follows on from Ed and Bunny Spend Some Money

Choosing how to spend money is tricky when you have a limited amount to spend. Children are given a budget to help choose a gift for Bunny to give to Ed. The activity explores the need to plan ahead and helps children understand that sometimes people do not always have the budget for things they want.

Save and Share with Ed and Bunny

Follows on from Ed and Bunny Raise Some Money

Children learn ways they can help their planet and how these things are closely linked to saving money in various settings. Giving children the chance to make choices about how savings might be used, e.g., through spending, saving or giving, allows them to practise making important money decisions.

We recommend delivering these activities after reading the relevant storybook with the children in your setting.
