The Challenge: You have 100 Squid Bucks (cut-out play money) to build a house. Choose your builder, house size, materials, fixtures, furniture, and more, but don't go over budget Choose carefully because the wrong builder or poor material choices could lead to expensive repairs.
Kids will discover the fun of budgeting by learning through play instead of simply reading about money. Armed with 100 Squid Bucks (a fun play currency), they'll make every spending decision as they design their own dream home. Every room, roof, window, door, and building material has a price, so they'll quickly learn that every buck counts.
Best of all, Squid Bucks aren't real money, so kids from anywhere in the world can enjoy the challenge without worrying about different currencies or exchange rates.
Once all of the budgeting decisions have been made, the real construction begins Using the included pre-sized paper cutouts, kids build a 3D paper model of the exact house they designed. They'll see how every financial decision shaped the finished home, making budgeting a hands-on experience they'll remember.
The fun doesn't stop after one house. When they're finished, kids can simply erase their choices, return to the beginning of the book, and build a completely different house using the same reusable Squid Bucks. They can experiment with new strategies, make different spending choices, and challenge themselves to create even better designs while reinforcing valuable money skills with every build.
Perfect for parents, grandparents, teachers, and homeschoolers, Build a House with 100 Bucks turns financial literacy into a creative game kids will want to play again and again.
Kids can build, budget, problem-solve, and create with confidence while learning real-world money skills that will last a lifetime.
