Best Ways For Kids To Make Money (2024 Updated)

As a Preschool teacher and mom of 3, this is one of the best money activity sets I have seen. It definitely out preforms the competition in teaching children how to use money. Some of the benefits of this product are that it is fun, hands on and educational.

I would buy this product for my classroom and my children at home. I have already reccomended this product to a friend to use with her daughter. It keeps the childrens attention while helping to teach them about american currency.

The only thing I would add to this product would be instead of puzzle pieces with items to buy on them, I would add miniatures of the items for the kids to buy. But that’s the only thing that I would add to this product, it’s pretty much perfect the way it is.

I really love this money set! As a parent with a child in first grade, when they start learning about money, this kit is a life saver! It has everything you need so that your kids can learn exactly what each thing looks like with out having to touch dirty real money.

I love that it comes with activities to do with the money as well. My son loves this set. Everything can be stored back in it’s box too, for easy clean up and storage.

I received this product as part of an incentivized review program and this is one of my favorites. As a former Elementary School teacher that also headed the Math curriculum, I LOVED playing with this product with my grand-kids.

The money is realistic looking which helps with recognition, the value matching puzzle is a great interactive way to not only do a puzzle, but to see different ways money can be presented. The suggestions on the instructions for the different age groups were highly beneficial the grandkids I watch are toddlers and kinder-kids.

This is very much a teaching-tool with the different levels of math options, the recognition, counting, ability to play store, write the different choices on the wipe board, different learning activities, etc.

I could go on and on. Another pro? It fits back in the box which has a carrying handle. The kids can put them away and carry them up and down the stairs with little hands. Only “down” side is it’s a little more challenging for independent play if that’s what you’re looking for, but we used it for a variety of options and were able to interact and imagine different situations.

Have I said how much I loved this product? Not just as a former educator, but it really is easy for parents/others to also interact.

I purchased this book at church for my daughter Grace to understand the Jesus Calling version for her age. We both read our Jesus Calling & discuss the passages every morning and reflect on again when we pray before bed.

This is a well written children’s book that explains Jesus’ love for us in a way that kids can interpret clearly. I highly recommend all of Sarah Young’s books. This one is excellent for children & parents to discuss & pray with daily!!.

I was delighted when Thomas Nelson Publishers sent me a copy of their newest devotional book for kiddos called Jesus Calling For Kids. Mary Anneliese recently finished reading the devotional book she got last year for Christmas and I was looking for a new one.

Perfect timing! Here’s the review from the Thomas Nelson website: ‘After many years of writing in her prayer journal missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with pen in hand writing down what she believed He was saying to her through Scripture.

Others were blessed as she shared her writings until people all over the world were using her devotionals. They are written from Jesus’ point of view thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless readers and now young readers with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.

Based on her original Jesus Calling this version has been adapted in a language and fashion that kids and tweens can relate to their everyday lives. ‘ Not only are the devotionals easily understandable for children the thing I really love about this book is that it is written as if Jesus is speaking directly to the reader.

What a fantastic way for children to learn to hear from Him as they are reading. It trains them to understand that God does in fact speak to them through His word. What an incredible concept! I am a big big fan of Jesus Calling For Kids! If you would like to have a copy for yourself leave a comment.

One commenter will be blessed with a copy of the book to keep for yourself or give as a gift. Happy reading!.

This little devotional from Sarah is chock full of Christian advice that children can easily understand. I like that the pages follow the calendar but not a set year. This means it can be used over and over.

As adults we know that reading something a year apart you may have new insight or your experience will color how you now perceive the reading. In this regard devotionals are invaluable. On each page there is a subject followed by a biblical quote the devotional and then a bible section for your child to read on their own that relates to the devotional for the day.

An example for today the topic is: Tough It Out the quote: You know that you learn to endure by having your faith tested. James 1:3 “. The devotional is basically Tough it out sounds great for sports but not so much for your life.

But it is a fact that you WILL have troubles in your life. You need to stand strong expect them call on God to help and survive. Then praise God for getting you thru the struggle. The related chapter is: James 1:2-3 and Psalms 107:21-22 This is a great devotional and I would highly recommend it for say 2nd grade on up.

It would make a great Christmas present as well!”.

This is such a great product!! Packaging showed everything that came with it in great detail. The paper money and coins look very realistic for play money. They fit great in the learning resources ATM machine! My daughter loves to count out the money and pretend to go shopping with her toys.

Great for all ages to teach them the concept of money and how to pay for things. I can see my 6 year old with special needs as well as my 10 year old nephew benefiting from this product!.

Can’t wait to see our favorite Cashier play grocery store here at home. What a great tool for teaching them to count money.

I loved how this product came with money and change that resembles the real thing. I also liked how it came with different games and different ways of coming up with the correct change and dollar amount.

From the basics of show me a dollar or which one is a nickel to give me 2. 50, this product was very thought provoking and is helping my child come up with correct change and counting the money.

Purchased for 6yr old grandson’s birthday. Have been reading the stories and find to my delight how uncontrived the applications are – real life, real fun and realistic life lessons. He will love this.

I’m a Bob Goff fan and this kids book is just what I hoped it would be. My thanks!!.

I ordered a series of 4 books on Sept 18, 2021. Paid $45. 77 for them. I have not received them. This is my second time letting you know this but have not received a response from you. Beginning to think this is not a reliable business.

Shipment number is FG 884062. The tracking number is 1Z100R76034458085. Please look into this or return my money. Not happy with this purchase so far. Would like a response to this message!!!.

This is a great collection of real life stories for kids to read and they reveal God’s truth and promises in every day life situations that they can relate to their own life. My children are grown adults but I am going to give this book to my grandkids.

The design of this game board is very good, and it’s durability is fair, if taken care of appropriately. The markers and spinning wheel are colorful, and catch they eye. The game is encouraging, and remind-full of the symbols that accompany money.

The idea of the coins and bills was a help, as they are reminiscent of the actual currency. This game was played by 2 youths and 1 adult, the children in 3rd and 4th grades. The idea of playing this game was to help them in their understanding of money.

In reality, both understand the concept of earning and saving money; but while they do understand how to exchange coins for bills clearer, but some issues could still not be addressed. The hope of this game was to help them with use of banking and spending, Unfortunately, this was not the case.

The idea of a bank was still as confusing, after playing the game, both asked why a bank was needed, if they had the cash. Yes, a logical question, however this had to be explained in detail, too. And while the idea of saving to purchase something is clearer to them, the idea of how much more they have to save before they get it, is still confusing.

This game is good, however it’s ideas seem similar to that of a more youthful game of monopoly. I also believe that this game requires a better understanding of money, and the decimal system, before playing.

This game should be recommended for a higher grade level, but is good.

Money Bags Board Game is fun. It was easy to set up. My grandchildren who live with me part time loved the idea for making money for chores and the game went fast, so we played several times. It held there their interest.

They are 7 years and 10 years. The instructions were clear and easy for the children to understand after the first reading. They liked the idea of getting paid for individual chores. They want to play this game every time they are here.

It is great that the play money was in sizes to match real money so the children can get the different size to value concept. My daughter-in-law liked the money in the game because it was very realistic, She is a teacher.

This is a great learning tool. We also played with real coins to show the children the actual size and value of each coin. This game was a little harder for the younger child because the dime was smaller than the nickel, but was worth 2X as much.

It was a very, very valuable lesson in Math without the children realizing it was math learning not just a game for fun. This game is engaging and fun to play for all of us. The kids couldn’t wait to roll the die and spin the wheel and get more money.

Playing with real money was a great learning experience with out the pain of doing homework to learn the value of each coin and to recognize them. I would certainly recommend this game highly. I would even recommend this game for teachers who are trying to teach money values in their classroom.

Sorry there are no pictures because my son wasn’t her to take them.

Bright colorful game – Have played with a 6 year old grandson and he has enjoyed the competition and working with the counting of coins. Quite simple game – but feel 6 is as early as I would recommend.

Game suggests 7 but our 6 year old had no problem understanding or enjoying the board game. This was part of the spark reviewer program. Our grandson enjoyed counting and working with coins to get the proper amounts needed to succeed in the game.

Not being able to use certain coins and needing to sub nickels, dines etc. added a good learning objective to the game. Main complaint was the color of coins – pennies were copper in color – but nickels and quarters being the same color was a little challenge for a 6 year old.

Yes different sizes, but would have been better with perhaps not the real color, but an easier way to tell them apart. He did very well – and enjoyed playing. Creative idea to teach a 1st or 2nd grader the value of money and how to count out the proper amounts.

Would recommend the game to the proper age child. Probably even good for a teacher. Real coins could also be used.

Great for playing store and restaurant. Large enough for small hands and large enough not to be perceived as real. Great selection of paper money and coins. A great design is that it has a rail card, a debit card, a bus card, etc.

Cards that really represent what people have in their wallets.

This set is very helpful in teaching young ones about money in a system where hardly anyone uses real money anymore. My grandson loves the wallet. It makes him feel older. The coins and paper money are good replicas of the real thing.

I ordered this for my granddaughter. We love to play grocery store but didn’t have but a couple of dollars that came with it. However now we have plenty of money to play with and the wallet is so cute.

It’s great for a boy or girl.

The first book I bought, was last year, it was the”Big Ideas for Curious Minds”. I bought this to read for my boys age 10 and 11. I love this book so much that I decided to buy a few more items from this company, some cards and more books.

Right now we are enjoying this book “What Can I Do When I Grow Up?”. This book is written the same beautiful way, easy for young kids to understand but for adult to enjoy and learn from too! Great product and a great idea for a gift too!.

Bought for our grandchildren. Game teaches money,counting,making change. 2 different ways to play. A short game for busy minds. Need to teach the rules before letting them play alone.They all like it.

This is a great game. We play it with our 6 yr old and he’s learning to count money. It also has another game for older kids. A real good educational game

I bought this for my grandson’s birthday. My daughter-in-law throws gifts from me in the trashcan. Hopefully he got it and likes it.

My oldest daughter has been using her smart saver bank for several years now and I love the concept, however, we have noted some design issues. For instance, the slots for inserting money, and the holes in the bottom for removing money, are too small for bills.

I’d like to see a design where the top slots for inserting money are slightly larger, and each compartment has its own individual lid for removing money. Also, my kids put aside general cash savings (learning to save for big purchases), spending cash (for the little things like gifts for friends or a little splurge for themself), donation cash, AND investment savings for investing in their college 529 at the end of the year.

Unfortunately, the smart saver bank does not include an investment compartment. This is a little disappointing. It is a well made product, of very sturdy material that has withstood many a fall, so no issues with quality.

My oldest has tolerated her bank and made do, and while I’d like to order another bank for my youngest daughter now that she is getting onboard with learning to manage her money, I think I will hold out until a new design is available.

The bank is working well for my 10 year old. She needed to see the physical separation of her money. We went to Target a few days afterwards and she put back many items after realizing she didn’t have enough in her “spend” category.

The only reason I didn’t rate the bank with 5 stars is it didn’t come with instructions on how to break up her money into the category. I know there are other materials available for purchase to explain, but I had just purchased the middle and high school foundations courses for my other children.

I had to be aware of how much I was spending. Without instructions for the bank, my daughter arbitrarily split her money up between the categories. I recommend it for all kiddos who need to see their money separated to internalize the fact that they can’t go shopping with their “save” or “give” money.

My seven year old has been saving money in a bucket and this was a fun way to separate and plan for his future, current spending and tithe. Teaching kids to tithe early on will give them a life long love of trusting God with our money.

It’s a lot harder to teach an adult to tithe. We can’t wait to go to the bank and make a deposit. When he was done he said debt is dumb and cash is kind.

This money safe is really fun for any age. My 10 year old loves that he can have a place to put his valuables. It was super easy to set up and change the pin number. The only thing we had to do is provide a few batteries.

After showing my son how to open it once then it became a game of adding money to the bank and putting in the pin number all day long. We never had any issues with the pin not working or any struggles with operating the bank.

This is some type of little haedcover pocket manual. I was expecting the full version. This is basically, some type of tiny littlw pocket version of the book that has a 1 or 2 paragraph summary of each chapter.

I was expecting a full size hardcover book. The phone in the pics is a pixel 2xl.

Great first book and easy read for my 12-year old son. Great content to get him on the road to wise financial destiny. He is asking great questions and starting great conversations and causing me to think deeper about family assets, liabilities, the future and life general.

Highly recommend for your pre-teen or teen to read.

Bought this for my daughter, as we loved “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. Great price and service. Great little book – and I mean that literally! Mt only disappointment was that this was a SMALL book in size – fits in your hand! I must not have noticed the size when I was buying it.

But would make a great stocking stuffer!.

18 colors of slime, 13 vials of glitter, multiple bags of beads, foam balls, glow powder, etc. This is by far the best slime texture wise we have ever played with, not to mention the endless options of stuff to play with that goes along with a great slime experience! Money well spent in my opinion!! This is the second time ive bought this slime for my grandkids and after receiving such excellent quality not once, but twice, I decided this seller deserved to have people know the quality and value of the product they offer! Thanks for an excellent product!!!.

How I wish I had a copy of this book when my three were little, back when I seriously wondered how we could ever pay for three kids to go to preschool. (That’s six years of preschool tuition!) Author Erin Odom is never bossy.

She isn’t saying that staying home with your kids is the only way. However, if you are a mom who would love to stay home but don’t know if it is a real possibility, give this book a shot. Erin will gently encourage you to look at your home and expenses in a slightly different and creative way that could very well make all the difference in the world and allow you to stay home with your kids.

I loved the practical moneysaving tips found within the pages of this book, from tips on how to inexpensively cook healthy meals, to planning a vacation that won’t break the bank, to tips on purchasing a home and just about everything in between.

I highly recommend this book for any mom who wonders if staying home with her kids could actually happen. But really, I can’t think of a family that wouldn’t benefit from Erin’s wisdom wether or not the mom is able to stay home or works outside of the home.

It’s all good.

A great read for those of you who, like me, need some advice on investing. I found this book better than his other book “Mad Money”. This one gets more specific and outlines investment plans for all levels of investors.

Should you buy stocks, mutual funds, invest in a personal retirement plan? Whether you are into playing the stock market, like a more “solid” mutual fund, or would just like to understand your investment options at your particular point in life better than you do now, Jim does a great job of walking you through what you need to know in this book.

I, like many others, have watched him on TV many times and although I did not always totally understand and keep up with his fast paced & high energy show, I did learn a little & was well entertained.

The book though is more in depth than the shows are and more focused on long term investing. I’ve learned quite a bit from it so far & still refer to it every so often. I highly recommend it to anyone! Please vote YES below if you found this review helpful! THANKS!.

Nobody does it like Jim Crammer, except maybe you. He is informative and easy to read. Wish I had these tools 30 years ago. I would be a Millionaire instead of a thousandaire.

This book does a great job describing how to stabilize your finances before you start investing.

I read belonging, racism, and money to both of my children. Oldest age 5. 5 and the younger 3 in February. They really enjoyed the book. As a once graphic design student, I love the typographic design in the books.

It definitely will create dialogue with your children and have them probe questions. When my children’s teacher come back from travels, I will have her read it to the whole class. I know she would love it and would love to incorporate that in her curriculum.

It can and should be used as gifts for other children and families. Keep up the good work and can’t wait for more interesting titles. Cheers!.

I read the book immediately upon arrival. I will read this book to my grandchildren on a recording just in case I am not here to hear them read the book to me. The book is simple and powerful. During these day, we must instill in our legacy a sense of belonging.

They were made by God and perfect in his sight. You belong wherever you go. Don’t be afraid. You were not given the Spirit of fear. Walk in your truth. No one should treat you unfairly due to the color of your skin.

“YOU BELONG IN AMERICA”.

This sparked an interesting conversation with my 8 year old daughter! I had no idea she didn’t feel like she belonged at school. She loves learning so much but navigating the world of friends is hard for her.

She has a lot of them and tends to be a people pleaser and she’s already realizing that’s hard to do. She shared stories I knew nothing about. I shared a story. And later that night she shared more with me about her struggles with friends.

This opened up dialogue we never had before. 10/10 would recommend!.

The problem with reading a PDF is it’s not like a book in Google books or that where you can colour it. It’s very limiting. Not happy with the product and will still download it on play booms or something.

It’s the MP-3 format that I have no device that will play it. Why can’t it be made available on a standard CD format???

The size of the book was much smaller then I expected so find word size hard to read. Was expecting the original size style.

Story of the friendship and artistic process of Smith/Maplethorpe. Loved learning about their lives. Loved learning about how art was made in their spaces. Smith’s writing is poetical and succinct. Beautiful flow and so easy to pick up/put down.

I loved learning about their lives and slices of old NYC. I think lovers of NYC would love this book, even without knowing the artists.

I absolutely fell in love with Patti Smith and her writing. The story of her life with Robert is one of many struggles and yet I can’t help by envy it. If you’re a romantic or even if you’re not, I would recommend this book.

I decided to read this because of Robert Mapplethorpe; I was interested in his work and wanted to learn about his life. Patti Smith did not let me down. Their story was so interesting and fantastic. It was great to learn about all of the moments, people and dreams in someone’s life that impact them.

I love these hangers. They are smaller in length, which makes them perfect for my shirts and sweaters. They do not stretch out the shoulders which I love. You can also use them for pants!

I love my new hangers. They are strong enough for my winter weight suits and I can keep my jacket , skirt or pants together. The cost was more than double what I paid for the plain white wooden hangers, but I am OK with this.

I may order more of them after my Christmas shopping is complete.

This is my second time buying this for my son. He has multiple food allergies so requires a multivitamin. But I specifically like that this is not high dosage. It just gives a boost. I only give him one, below his age requirement so that I would just be complementary to the diet.

It’s also value for money, as is usual with NOW brand. The taste is not that great, that’s why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
