MonKi

MonKi is a digital toy app that helps children aged 6–8 explore spending money through fun, open-ended play. Kids receive a random budget and shop in a virtual supermarket, choosing ingredients, comparing prices, and inventing their own solutions at their own pace. Designed for playful learning, MonKi turns everyday spending moments into a safe experience children can experiment with. There are no rules and no right or wrong — kids are free to explore however they like. Through this experience, children naturally learn about choosing within limits, noticing price differences, and thinking about simple trade-offs. Everything is presented in a way that feels intuitive for young kids, without pressure or complicated instructions. MonKi also lets two children play together in a shared supermarket experience. Each player visits a different store and both share one budget — encouraging them to negotiate, take turns, communicate, and make joint decisions. It’s a playful way to introduce kids to basic teamwork and discussing choices.
