Kids Pretend Shop

Welcome to Pretend Shop — the interactive pretend play app that turns your child's device into their very own store!

Children love playing shop, and Pretend Shop brings that classic imaginative play to life. Kids can choose between running a Cafe or a Toy Store, take orders, add items to a basket, and even "pay" at the end — all with colourful pictures, fun sound effects, and satisfying haptic feedback.

☆Two Stores to Explore☆

In the Cafe, little shopkeepers can serve up meals from a menu packed with familiar favourites. Browse categories including Food, Drinks, Cereal, and Desserts. From pizza and pasta to juice boxes and pancakes, there's plenty for every pretend customer to enjoy.

In the Toy Store, children can fill their basket with Soft Toys, Games, Arts & Crafts supplies, and Outdoor toys. Teddy bears, unicorns, board games, bubbles — everything a toy shop needs.

☆Build Orders Like a Real Shop☆

Tap items to add them to the current order. Each item has a picture, a name, and a price. Children can see their order build up in real time, remove items they change their mind about, and watch the total update automatically. It's a brilliant way to practice early number skills while having fun.

☆Allergy Awareness☆

The Cafe includes allergy information for every menu item. Children can select allergies such as gluten, dairy, eggs, or nuts, and the menu will automatically filter out items containing those allergens. Allergy icons appear alongside items so kids can learn about food safety in an age-appropriate way.

☆Tap to Pay with NFC☆

For the ultimate realistic experience, switch on Tap to Pay in Settings. When it's time to pay, children hold two devices together to complete the pretend contactless payment — just like grown-ups do in real shops. No real money is involved; it simply uses NFC to make the play feel authentic. A cash register sound and a gentle vibration confirm the "payment".

☆Make It Your Own☆

Pretend Shop is fully customisable. In Settings, children can:
- Name their store (up to 20 characters)
- Choose a background image for the main screen
- Pick a logo to display next to the store name

This means every child's shop is unique — they might run "Emma's Cafe" one day and "Jake's Toy Emporium" the next.

☆Designed for Children☆

The app is built with young users in mind. Large, easy-to-tap buttons and bright, friendly artwork make it simple for small hands to navigate. It works beautifully in both portrait and landscape mode, adapting its layout so everything stays easy to see and use on phones and tablets alike.

☆Safe for Kids☆

In-app purchases are protected behind a parent gate that requires solving a multiplication problem, so only adults can make purchases. The only available purchase is an optional ad removal — there are no loot boxes, no recurring subscriptions, and no surprise costs.

☆Great for Learning Through Play☆

Pretend Shop isn't just fun — it's educational too. Children naturally practice:
- Adding up prices and working with money
- Reading item names and categories
- Understanding food allergies
- Taking turns and role-playing social interactions
- Making decisions and managing a shopping list

Whether playing alone, with siblings, or with friends, Pretend Shop encourages creativity, communication, and confidence.
