Sixpence
What is the Sixpence Program?
The Sixpence Program is designed to provide parents and soon-to-be parents the opportunity to bond and develop strong relationships with their children/unborn children, learn to be their child's first teacher, promote learning within the home environment, encourage and support curiosity within the child's play. Sixpence will serve as a resource for support throughout your child's first years.
Sixpence The sixpence coin was first struck in 1551 during the reign of Edward VI, owing to the debasement of Britain’s silver coinage during the 1540s, particularly the testoon. The precursor to the shilling had seen its value halved from twelve pence to six. Lucky Sixpence Coin for the Bride, You Choose the Date. Quick view Compare Add to Cart.
