The Moneywise Kids Game, for example, is a money math game that helps kids (ages 7 and up) learn to count bills, make change, and budget money. There's also a Pretend & Play Checkbook (for ages 5 and up), a number of books for kids and adults, and My Smart Budget (described as "a fun parent-child interactive financial literacy program that trains kids as young as 8 to become Money Wise for Life™").
Make More Cents also offers a wide variety of piggy banks, coin jars, safes, and coin sorters. When I had the opportunity to review a product, I chose the EZ-Count Money Jar Digital Coin Counter.
I received the Digital Coin Counter along with a package of 100 preformed coin wrappers.
(Note that there are 25 wrappers each for quarters, nickels, pennies, and dimes. They're nested, so not all types are visible.)
My son, the aspiring videographer who shall be known as "Mooseman," wanted to make a video demo of the Digital Coin Counter:
We found that the E-Z Count Money Jar Digital Coin Counter is both fun to use and accurate. It can be used with or without the preformed coin wrappers. Occasionally the coins miss the tubes, but in general it works extremely well. (We really put it to the test by feeding in the coins very rapidly!)
I can see how this would encourage kids (and adults!) to save coins; the increasing count on the digital display is a visible reminder that coins quickly add up to dollars.
Buy it: Order the E-Z Count Money Jar Digital Coin Counter or other resources at Make More Cents.
Win it: Make More Cents is offering an E-Z Count Money Jar Digital Coin Counter to one lucky winner.
