On my little one’s
4th birthday, my dad opened a savings account for her and gave her a piggy
bank. From that day on wards, whenever we
gave her money for the piggy bank, I used to show her the value of the currency
before putting it. So, she can recognize most of the coins and how much it worth.
I hope this would help her to understand the importance of saving money.
As an extension of our activity on money value, we played a ‘shopping game’ today. I displayed some stationary items and toys along with their prices written in a piece of paper. I gave her some currency. She visited ‘my shop’ and purchased few items. I really loved the way she asked the prices, check the coin values and purchased the items.
We used the kids currency(fake) that i purchased from a local store. It looks exactly the same as that of Indian rupees except a cartoon image printed in it.
