We used this as part of a large research and presentation project for our co-op. My children are 3, 5, 6, and 7 they all enjoyed it. I lived the money review, math word problems all wrapped up into an art project. I laminated the houses they made so cute!

I use activities like this one the week before winter break. I feel good knowing the students are still practicing and learning while the students feel that they are doing a cute activity! I used this with my learning support students and they enjoyed it. They had to use fake coins and actually pay me for the different parts of the house.
