My Little Shop

✂️ Free printables / open sign

🪧 Open sign

Nothing makes a pretend shop feel real like being able to close it. This free cut-out folds into a two-sided sign - a sunny OPEN on one side, a firm but fair CLOSED on the other - with holes for a string so it can hang on a door handle, a chair back or the cubby entrance.

Flipping the sign is the ceremony that starts and ends the game, and small shopkeepers take it very seriously. Trading hours are entirely at the management's discretion.

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.
