The Mixed-Up Market
What money is
Money helps people pay and exchange. A price tells us how much something costs.
Best for children aged 4–9 years old
The Money Explorer Digital Membership is a 12-month financial learning journey for children aged 4–9, designed to build their understanding of money step by step.
Every month, a new printable issue introduces a different money topic through stories, hands-on activities, real-life challenges and family conversations. Once printed, everything is screen-free and age-appropriate.
Choose your preferred language. New materials are released at the beginning of each upcoming month, at the same time as the physical Mail Club, and you will receive an email when your issue is ready. Join by the end of the month to begin with the next release.
Print the materials at home and complete the adventure whenever it suits your family.
Digital Monthly Membership — €5.99/month
Pay month by month and cancel anytime. The membership ends after all 12 issues.
Digital Annual Membership — pay once and save 10%
Receive all 12 monthly releases over the year. The annual membership does not auto-renew.
No physical materials will be shipped. There is no delivery charge and no shipping address is required.
No lectures. No complicated financial jargon—just one new printable money adventure every month.
For personal household use only. Available languages appear in the language selector.
Every issue builds on the one before it, helping children develop healthy money habits step by step.
What money is
Money helps people pay and exchange. A price tells us how much something costs.
Work, earning and value
People commonly earn money by doing work, using their skills or making something useful.
Forms of money
Money can be coins, notes or digital. Paying by card or phone still uses real money.
Needs and wants
Needs are things we require; wants are things we would like but can live without.
Choices and trade-offs
Money is limited. Choosing one thing can mean giving up another.
Smart spending
We can pause, compare and think before buying. Advertising can influence our choices.
Saving and patience
Saving means keeping money for a future goal. Reaching that goal often requires waiting.
Investing
Investing means using money now in the hope of creating more value later—but growth is not guaranteed.
Making a money plan
We can decide how much money to spend, save and give before using it.
Keeping money safe
We must protect money and payment information and ask a trusted adult before paying.
Giving and community
Money can be used to help other people and support things we care about.
Review and healthy habits
Healthy money habits combine earning, choosing, spending, saving, investing, giving and staying safe.
