"'Bluey'-Conomics": It's "Not" All about the Money
Alexa Quinn; Stephen Day; Lauren Shifflett
Social Studies and the Young Learner, v37 n4 p26-32 2025
In this article, we describe ways to use the television series "Bluey" to examine economic concepts in children's daily lives. We identify and unpack parts of Bluey episodes that might serve as the basis for lessons or discussions with young children. We explain how economic decision-making can have either "market" or "nonmarket" contexts, which is to say that economics is not only about money!
