King’s Day is a national holiday in the Netherlands on 27 April. The Dutch King’s day is known for its nationwide vrijmarkt (“free market”), at which the everyone can sell his or her used items without tax. It is also for the kids to practice their first financial activity: buying, selling and bargaining!
My two kids did most of the activities independently, they are:
- Evaluating and Collecting toys and books they do not need anymore
- Organize the collections into category’s
- Discuss with each other and price them
- Prepare music to perform on the street
- Get ready the small changes in Piggy bank and Tikkie QR code
I am very curios to see how things turn tomorrow and willing to share more with you.
Soon we will publish a series of articles for “how to talk money with your kids”, stay in touch!
