What this teaches

Smart Shopper drops your child into a tiny store with a budget. Some items are NEEDS (green), others are WANTS (pink). Their job: get every NEED into the cart while staying under budget — and stretch the leftover for stars. Four levels grow from a small ₹150 quick stop to a ₹300 family shop. The lesson lives in the moment when 'I want this' meets 'we still need that'.

How to play

Tap Start Shopping to enter a level.
Tap Add on items you want in the cart.
Watch the budget bar — green is good.
Tap Checkout when every NEED is in.

What to watch for

When your child puts a WANT in the cart, ask them to read the NEEDS still missing — the swap usually happens before you finish the sentence.
