Speaking Of Crafts

Here’s a fun way for your kids or grandkids to learn about money and saving while  crafting. Give them a ceramic pig to paint using acrylic paints.  Urge them to save their allowances in the bank and keep track of the money they’ve saved.   Think of how proud they will be to see the bank they’ve painted themselves and watch their excitement as they watch their savings grow.

Not so long ago I gave similar adorable piggy banks to each of my three grandchildren to paint.   They had so much fun, didn’t make the mess I anticipated,  and were extremely proud of their banks.   Even the youngest one did a great job figuring out a design and applying it to the bank.
