Today's edition of
Fun Friday comes from
Homemade Mamas, a blog written by two sisters in Illinois. This month they are focusing on recycling and being green. We created
Earth Friendly Money Savvy Piggy Banks these from two mayo jars and one spice jar. My "anal self" had to find jars that matched each other so both boys would have the same looking system.
Here is the first leg of the project finished (complete with money added already!) We had a lesson on money this morning and I explained to them that we would now be giving them an allowance every week so they could learn how to handle money. Their allowance will be $1 per week in the form of four quarters - .25 to save, .25 to give and .50 to spend.
Dad will have to help with the second part, cutting the top slots for us. Once that is done and they are painted, we will glue the "save jar" shut to prevent temptations.
:) Farm Boy has collected coins for quite some time so he had a good head start. I was proud of him for dividing the money up between all of his jars and not just placing it all in his spend jar. (He even gave some to
Music Man!)
Farm Boy has decided he wants to save for a baby sister. :) He's been praying for one for quite some time.
PS My camera is still sick. Pics are taken with my iPhone.
