Does your child already play shop? Let them run a real till, take payment and count the change-then print play money, barcode stickers and awards. Cha-ching!
Does your child already play shop - lining up toys, taking your order, selling you pretend coffee? My Little Shop turns that into a proper little shop, cafe or restaurant they can run themselves.
They open the doors, stock the shelves, hang a sign and set every price. They ring up the sale, take the notes and coins, and count the change back into your hand, coin by coin. Exactly the way it works at the corner store - only the shopkeeper is six, and every sale is a quiet maths lesson they don't even notice.
OPEN A SHOP
Choose a ready-made cafe, toy shop, sushi bar, Italian kitchen, French patisserie, night market or North Pole Market, or build your own from scratch. Rename it, choose the sign and set the prices. Ready in a couple of minutes.
A TILL THAT WORKS PROPERLY
Big, clear buttons and familiar money. Tap what the customer wants, take the payment and count the change out together. It uses real-world notes and coins across 16 currencies, so it can match the money your child already knows.
TAKE IT FURTHER WITH A PRINTER
If you have a printer, they can print play money and pretend bank cards for the till, barcode stickers for real toys, packaging to fold into boxes and bags, price tags, menus, signs, personalised Award certificates and more.
The camera scans barcodes straight into the till - and at payment time, it scans the bank card too: beep, approved. Printed pieces bring the shop off the screen and into their hands.
TEAM UP WITH A SECOND DEVICE
Got a spare phone or tablet? It becomes the till's handheld scanner. The register stays on the table while your shopkeeper walks around the shop, zapping toys - and every scan lands straight on the order back at the till, just like the handheld scanners at a real supermarket. The two devices talk only to each other over your own Wi-Fi.
RESTAURANTS AND CAFES
Sit a whole family at one table. Take different orders for each person. The order waits while you serve someone else. Come back later and the till already knows what they had. Print name cards for every seat if you like.
LEARNING WHILE HAVING FUN
To keep the shop running, your child has to recognise notes and coins, add up the total and work out the change while a customer is waiting.
Clear, attainable Awards give them fun ideas for what to try next. They can run reports on their shop and spend their pretend earnings on playful upgrades, such as adding a shop puppy, unlocking themed shelf pictures or giving the shopfront a golden makeover. Upgrades can be switched off whenever they want simpler play again.
NO ADS, NO ACCOUNTS, NO TRACKING
Nothing about your child is collected. Their shops, products and play history stay on your device. When two devices Team up, they communicate directly over your own Wi-Fi.
WHAT'S FREE
Free to play: one shop, the full till, every currency, Awards, Shop Upgrades, the scanner, Team up with a second device, and the ability to print play money, pretend bank cards and barcode stickers.
