Little Bosses' Market: Young Entrepreneurs Share and Re-Use Toys
Moore, Lin; Cheng, Ya-Li; Jang, Li-Fen Anne; Wang, Jia-Hua
Childhood Education, v99 n3 p40-47 2023
The Little Bosses' Market, now in its second year and organized by the Hualien Parent-Child Center, challenges the perspective that young children cannot learn about economics. The children participating in this activity took on the responsibilities of planning and selling their goods and services. They interacted with customers by noting prices, explaining how to play a game, or demonstrating how to use a toy. They accepted payments of real currency and made change, while parents watched approvingly. Re-using is a goal for sustainability supported by the Hualien Parent-Child Center. The huge success of the Little Bosses' Market proved that young children and their parents could actively contribute to the achievement of that goal by re-using toys and games.
