Two Little Piggies

It’s important to teach our children about saving money. In my house, we have a piggy bank for this purpose, which holds loose change and money received as gifts. How can we use a similar idea to teach children about giving? Get a new bank to go next to the savings bank. For every quarter your kids put into their savings bank, encourage them to put one into the other bank for a cause of their choice. When the bank is full, take your child to donate the money and they will see the value of saving – and giving.
