Katie's first dollar earned from strangers. Katie set up a store at the park. She collected pebbles from around the park based on thier interesing colors or patterns, set them up on a bench, and sold them to the other kids. This money was from three pebbles she sold for 90¢; I provided the 10¢ change. The next kid wanted to buy 50¢ worth of pebbles, and Katie "put them on hold" for her while the girl asked her mom. That kid's mom said no. (iPhone 6 Plus.)
