🟡💰 Card-Ez Coins & Bills 💰🟡
Teaching money doesn’t have to be confusing, frustrating, or worksheet-heavy.
Card-Ez Coins & Bills turns it into a clear, hands-on system kids can actually understand—not just memorize.
This set is designed to build real-world money skills step-by-step using simple, visual 3” x 5” cards and interactive clothespin checking.

🪙 What You’re Getting (2 Full PDFs):
• Coins Pack (43 pages) – focused, repetitive practice with:
penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar coin
• Bills + Coins Pack (11 pages) – mixed money practice using dollar bills combined with coins
This separation is intentional—students can master coins first, then move into real-life mixed totals with confidence.
✏️ How It Works (Simple + Effective):
Print the cards
Laminate for durability (recommended)
Cut into 3” x 5” cards
Students count the total
Clip the correct answer with a clothespin
That’s it. No complicated directions. No confusion.
🎯 Why This Works So Well:
• Immediate feedback – students can self-correct without adult help
• Tactile learning – clipping engages motor skills + focus
• Visual clarity – clean layouts prevent overwhelm
• Repetition without boredom – each card reinforces skills naturally
• Builds independence – great for centers or solo practice
🧠 Skills Covered:
• Coin identification
• Coin value recognition
• Counting single coin types
• Counting mixed coins
• Combining coins + dollar bills
• Real-world money totals
🏫 Perfect For:
• Math centers
• Homeschool routines
• Intervention groups
• Special education support
• Early finishers
• Independent work stations
📌 Teacher Tip:
Start students with the Coins Pack only. Once they show confidence, introduce the Bills + Coins set to simulate real-life transactions. This progression dramatically improves retention.

New cover edit to celebrate over 2 million copies sold!! and I are so grateful for all of you, who have loved and shared it.

I’ve got some really exciting news to share! It’s especially exciting if you know and love The Whole Brain Child!
and I have been asked to come together on stage and spend two full days talking about our book from today’s perspective:
📌What does the latest neuroscience say about the concepts in The Whole-Brain Child?
📌What would we change if we wrote it today?
📌What are we still most excited about from the book?
📌What does a whole-brain approach have to say about living in the world right now?
The two of us have been putting together our ideas and discussing new tools, as well as lots of practical applications for supporting kids at home, in schools, and in clinical settings.
The training will take place February 5–6, 2026, in San Diego, with a live online option available as well a recording afterward. We’d LOVE to have you there!
Come spend two full days with us, talking about learning, reflection, and skill-building — focused on helping adults better understand children’s brains and respond in ways that support regulation, resilience, and healthy development. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or clinician, we’re designing this to be deeply useful and immediately applicable.🥰
Please know that spots are limited, and I know that momentum is building fast. So don’t wait too long to sign up if you’re interested.
