Class Discussion“How could we raise money in Nursery?”We talked about this but it was a difficult concept for children to grasp without any prior experience so Sam (Nursery Nurse) and myself (Class teacher) engaged in role-play. We each decided on something to make and sell to parents. We then asked children to decide in talking partners, which idea they preferred
– Planting a seed and growing a plant– Buying a blank canvas and painting on it
Market ResearchWe discussed ‘market research’ and told children they should ask their parents which they would prefer to buy. Children went home with a simple tick sheet for their parents to complete. When the slips were returned, we sorted and counted them and chose the one with greater ‘demand’ – canvas art

A Little Trip to Poundland
• We took the tram to the Parade. Each child was given £1 to spend on a canvas
• When we got back we talked about the jar of money (kitty) being empty but demonstrated how spending some money can make more money

Production
• Children researched on the internet to find the handprint art they wanted to create
• Children then created their masterpiece

• Children wrote invitations to parents

Selling
• We organised an ‘Art Gallery’ for parents to visit and purchase a canvas
• Children put the money into the jar and watched as it became full
• Children looked through the catalogues to find new resources for Nursery
• We bought blank canvases for £1 and sold painted ones for £4 so made a profit of £3 on each one. All children sold their canvas and parents and staff put in orders for more canvases!
