What Your Child Will Learn:
This colorful introduction helps kids begin to understand what money is, why we use it, and how it helps us make everyday choices. It’s a great jumping-off point to start building healthy financial habits from the ground up
Tip: After reading, ask your child to name things they’ve seen people spend money on—like groceries or toys. It’s a great way to connect this lesson to their daily experiences.
Turn loose change into silly snakes, caterpillars, or whatever your child can imagine! While creating their coin creatures, they’ll practice identifying, sorting, and counting real coins.
Tip: Let your child name their coin animals and challenge them to figure out how much money each one is made of.
What would your child put on their very own money? This creative art activity helps them think about what makes something valuable—while learning about real-world money design and symbols.
Tip: Ask your child why they chose their design and who or what they decided to feature. Talk about the real people or symbols on U.S. currency to compare.
With just three jars and a handful of coins, your child can learn the basics of saving, spending, and sharing. This hands-on system helps kids set simple goals, see their money grow, and make thoughtful choices.
Tip: Set up jars together and let your child decorate them. Add small amounts of change weekly and talk about what they’re saving for or who they might share with.
Adventure awaits! In this interactive treasure hunt, kids solve clues and explore coins and bills as they uncover hidden loot. It’s a playful way to reinforce money identification and introduce simple problem-solving.
Tip: Create a small “treasure” to hide at the end of the hunt, like a dollar bill or a favorite treat, and make it a fun surprise for solving all the clues.
