【丫丫體驗】在 兒 童 跳 蚤 市 場 學 市 場 經 濟


Pasadena Kidspace Museum 上個週末人頭湧湧,因為又到了每年舉辦兩次的《兒童跳蚤市場》,這是讓小丫丫們期待已久的活動,讓孩子從小培養對金錢的概念,認識經營企業的決策和運作,由賣什麼貨品、設立小攤位、跑銷售、講價錢、到計算收入和利潤,都是很難得的學習經驗!

 

如今成長在富足家庭環境的小朋友對金錢的概念大都很簡單,大概只停留在存錢箱、紅包錢、和零用錢的地步。可是許多猶太人家庭真是從3-4歲就開始教導小朋友市場經濟和投資概念,難怪他們的財經知識如此深厚。(親身經驗:身邊的猶太朋友的確是如此!)

 

所以,事不宜遲,做媽媽的一知道《兒童跳蚤市場》開放登記,就立即報名(去年好快就滿額了,只能望門興嘆)。報名費 $11,還包含兩個人的入場門票,是不錯的 deal 喔。

 

Kidspace Flea Market is not business as usual.  It is for entrepreneurs-in-making to sell, swap, and shop ‘till you drop, entirely run by kids for kids!

 

Kids get to learn the tricks of the trade to running their own business by selling gently used items, homemade goods, something silly or useful DIY items, or even a talent!

Last year we registered a day too slow and it was sold out way to soon (talk about timing the market!)  So this year I swear to seize the opportunity early, I registerd the first day it opened for the public.  $11 registration includes a table and two chairs, plus admission for two, a very good deal indeed!

 


 

學習重點(一):location, location, location

攤位位置是抽籤決定的,我們抽到的位置很好,可是因為面向陽光,實在是太熱了!還好,遮陽帳篷很快就送來了,(爸媽們多周到!)小丫丫們立即投入到銷售的熱誠中!

 

這個手摺的利是封帆船很受歡迎,買$5一個也還有很多顧客!
