This little bank is awesome!! My son has a small piggy bank right now and of course we lost the cover so the bottom is plugged up with tape. we really need a new one. My son constantly wants to know if he can take some out to spend and my husband and I keep telling him that he can’t open it until it is full. This one is great and I love the fact that they can see inside.

What an innovative way to teach how kids handle money!

Still that’s a lot and gives the adorables something fun to look forward to!

Love it. Always a great idea, and the bank might make an easier “visual” for kids. We’ve done the same thing — minus the bank– when saving up for a vacation (even if it just totals enough for souvenir spending money!).

We do this same type of thing without the fancy bank. We started when he was 4 and our son received $3 a week for allowance. One dollar goes to spending (I have to bite my tongue and whatever he wants to buy with it is fine – including things that I think are a piece of junk and waste of money), one dollar goes in his college bank (plant that seed at an early age that college isn’t cheap and that he needs to work towards it and save…..however now that he is a bit older the deal is that if he gets a college scholarship he gets to have whatever $ is saved in that account) and $1 is for charity (he gets to pick. sometimes it is in the church collection plate, sometimes it is something that he sees on tv, sometimes it is the local animal shelter)

I was just thinking about when I should start saving money with my kiddos. I love the bank, maybe we will start there. Thanks Heidi!
