Cutie Pie has really wanted to buy “things” lately, but he has no idea how much anything is and even if he did he doesn’t really understand the concept.
I have no idea where to start in teaching him, so I started with the very basics…counting and sorting. (With a little being inserted into his piggy bank, too!) fine motor, math
Cutie Pie was very surprised to discover money came in all sizes. He said he always thought it was plastic or paper. Says something about us, doesn’t it?
Since we tried this, we’ve introduced family contributions and the idea of chores with a small allowance each week. He seems very excited to earn money and (so far) seems eager to help. I’m hoping this will give us opportunity to help Cutie Pie to learn about money and saving through hands on experience.
What has been your experience teaching kiddos about money. Any tips would be appreciated! (Pun not intended!)
