Here are some ideas to quickly get you started with KidCash
Goal sheets are a fantastic way to visually teach young toddlers about saving. They help them understand how to set limits and budget for the things they truly desire, laying the foundation for smart money management. Download and print your goal sheets for free by clicking here.
To motivate your child to save, locate a toy or gift they really desire. Attach a picture of it to the left side of the goal sheet. Indicate the dollar amount, circle the type of currency they are saving for, and outline the goal box. This visual aid helps them focus on their savings goal.
Encourage your child to count their saved dollars and check off the boxes on their goal sheet as they make progress. Explain how they are advancing toward their goal and how much more they need to save. This is an excellent way to introduce them to basic arithmetic. You can also suggest they draw neat X's in the boxes to practice early handwriting skills while tracking their savings journey.
When they reach the goal box, celebrate it in a big way! Let them know you're going to get them their desired toy right away. We recommend shopping locally to support businesses in your area with your purchase. It's a great way to teach them the value of supporting local shops.
