Well I am buying about a million of the little piggies right now to give all kids EVER.

So cute and very smart to help kids see beyond spend, which can often be their only "category."

Stan....I love that website! What a great resource for those of us with little girls in our life.

I also want to buy this & play with my niece NOW!

I used the symbol since it's kid related, but I'm not a mom so I'm posting here. @shoegal, here's a gift for all the child birthdays in your life! I'm so in love with the first one.

The church where I work has different milestones as kids grow (bibles at k, 3rd and 5th grades, prayer pillow, etc). In 2nd grade they participate in the money milestone and each of the second graders is given the top piggy bank at a special ceremony, along with $10 from the pastor. It is a really great moment and turns into a yearlong focus on how to be responsible with money.

This is awesome!

This website is good for younger kids also-it doesn't have the invest portion, but it's good for the basics.

We have something similar and H (financial advisor) gives it as a gift when ever a client has a baby

Perfect! Start young on a good financial path!

I've had this on dd1's wishlist forever but it's expensive!

I just ordered one of these for A! 8 months isn't too early to learn to be MM, right?

I love this! I do not have kids but when I was a kid, my parents had me split up my allowance 50% to spend, 25% to save for a bigger item, 25% to save- I only got $6 a week, but I allocated it. All checks got put into my savings account until I was about 14, at which point we invested some with my "input"'- my dad taught me a lot about the market, which I think has contibuted to my enjoyment in getting into the financial industry. I think that teaching kids about splitting up money and allocating is so valuable.

Do you have 360? I totally have these accounts. It's my online pig.

Yes, I do!  That's a good way to think about it!

I have not seen one with an invest category. Very interesting. I have been debating getting one for DD. She has piggy banks, but they are just regular, simple banks.
