Yes, most of our kids have a piggy bank – BUT none of them have something as awesome as this!
I was at the mall on Black Friday and strolling thru Nordstrom and saw a table with the Money Scholar banks on them. Of course, I had to stop and check them out(and ask about posting on Jens List!). While the name does describe them accurately, it does NOT do them justice as to how TRULY adorable the banks are. I have never seen anything like this before and I think that the concept is BRILLIANT! It aims to equip our children with the right tools and knowledge for a better financial future. The company believes that children at any age can learn the four basic principles for sound money management – saving, giving, spending and investing. Money Scholar is founded by Christine Douglas, a mother of two and an advocate for financial literacy for children. She has designed a very unique line of piggy banks that reinforces the four basic principles.
