Scissors out

Free printables for playing shops

The best shop games spill off the screen and onto the floor. These cut-outs are free, need nothing but plain A4 paper, scissors and a glue stick, and work on their own - no app required. They just happen to go wonderfully with one.

New to shopkeeping? Start with the complete guide to running a pretend shop - signs to cha-ching in ten steps.

That page was one sheet. Here comes the whole shop.

The app prints all of this, with your child's shop name on it

Everything below comes out of your ordinary printer, made from your child's actual shop - their name on the money, their prices on the tags, their menu in their handwriting-sized letters. Stick a barcode sticker on a teddy, point the camera at it, and it beeps and rings up on their own till, exactly like the supermarket. That moment is the whole app in one go.

The download is free, with no ads and no accounts - your first shop, the whole cash-and-card till, Awards, Team up, sticker scanning, and printable money, bank cards, barcodes and product packets cost nothing. One optional unlock opens every printable above, restaurant tables, unlimited shops and the full sales history.
