Kids Yearly Savings Jar – 1 Penny at a Time!
Teaching kids to save their money can be hard. Heck convincing myself I need to save money seems nearly impossible sometimes. That’s why I decided to try something new with my kids this year. This year we will be saving money 1¢ at a time. Here’s how this works. First you will need a jar. I chose a nice big one since we will be adding lots of coins in (because that’s the type of money my kids have). You can get a jar like mine HERE. Next you will want to print a label for your jar.
