The Lemonade Stand
Earning, and that money comes from work plus a little planning.

A pretend shop where real money lessons stick.
Coinsprout is a set of short, AI-run missions where kids earn, save, spend, give, and wait with pretend coins. The AI improvises the story, reacts to each choice, and explains the why. You see the progress.
Built for the kid, written for the parent
Kids 6 to 13
Three age bands. A six-year-old counts coins under twenty. A twelve-year-old meets opportunity cost in a sentence they can repeat.
Parents who want the why
You do not need a finance background. You need one good question a week, and we hand it to you.
Families that are busy
A mission is three to five minutes. It fits between dinner and bath, on a tablet or a laptop, with nothing to install.
Ages 6 to 8 Ages 9 to 11 Ages 12 to 13 Pretend coins only 3 to 5 minutes a mission
Five beats, every time
Every mission follows the same loop, so kids know what to expect and parents know what they are getting.
- 1
Scene
The AI sets a short, vivid scene: a hot Saturday, a lemonade stand, a jar of coins. It ends on a decision the kid has to make.
- 2
Choice
Two reasonable options, neither a trick. On one turn, a short typed answer about the story, never about the child.
- 3
Reaction
The story moves based on exactly what they picked. Choose the flashy trade and the shopkeeper grins. Choose to wait and the day gets quieter.
- 4
Debrief
At the end, two to four kid-language sentences on what happened and why, naming the money skill. Warm, never shaming.
- 5
Parent note
You get a one-paragraph summary of what your kid practiced and one dinner-table question built from their actual choices.
