Banks to help kids learn to save and share!

Our boys are getting to the age where we wanted them to learn to share, save and be responsible in spending their money. We decided to make them banks with three jars- one for sharing ( 10%) one for saving for long term like college or a home (30%) and one where they could freely make choices about what they spend money on. We began giving them jobs to do around the house and then showed them how their jar banks would work. Some other people thought they were neat- so I will make them for others if they are interested. ( $15 for generic and $18 for personalized banks)



Banks are mounted onto a 2 X 6 X 14 piece of wood, painted and finished. Lid jars are plastic and can be removed or sealed shut if you wish.
