The value of money!

So we are trying to teach the kids that you have to SAVE for things that you want, instead of merely asking us for things. We both know they are a little young for this, but it's really a concept that they need to understand. So, instead of just buying them a swing set this spring, we are making them think they are saving for one! They call it their "Park" jar. We have a spot already made in our yard and every time we talk about the "park" they talk about how they are saving all their money for it! It's pretty cute, they all wanted to dump their piggie banks into the jar, they helped Jason clean out his car, all to fill this giant jar with change!!

I think is a good idea. The kids are going to enjoy more the swing because they will know that it was bought with their money.

No, I don not think it is too early - just great thinking mom!
