Business & Entrepreneurship (Grades K–2)

Every kid who has ever run a lemonade stand knows the thrill of earning their first coins. Chestnut the old squirrel merchant and Penny the chipmunk turn that instinct into ten gentle missions — a young child's first taste of how money, work, and a good idea fit together. Over 10 short missions across two weeks, your young merchant learns the difference between needs and wants, sorts goods from services, counts and earns coins, prices and sorts a stall, follows the four steps a business grows through, and learns how a market helps everyone trade — ending by designing their own dream stall. Every mission folds in early reading and business words, counting and adding to 20, sorting and patterns, and hands-on economics. Printable and low-prep, with a full answer key and a narration option on every writing task for pre-writers.
