Not sure at the preschool level for Costco - but DD and I make it a lunch trip..hehe...
You could go do the round of the sample tables and have them point out letters or numberes on the boxes?
How about counting the items in the cart, pointing out letters on products, using critical thinking skills to organize the cart, talking about the different kinds of jobs involved to run the company, ask the cashier what he/she does and why, money in exchange for products, estimate how much things might cost, choosing healthy foods, etc.
Oh you could make them their own grocery list (like a scavenger hunt list with pictures) & have them help you find what you need at the store.
See if the store has a map layout of the store on the website & print it out & they could be your navigators through the store.
Do you have camera they can use? You could have them take pictures of things to make an alphabet collage from the store.
You could play a game of What Food Group am I in? & ask them to tell you the food group for everything you buy!
I hope some of this is helpful.
Ohhh! These are perfect! Got your thinking cap on don't you?! lol
