This is a fun activity for kids to do. As well as a great way to start them off saving money, they will be learning to make something new. Is there a more exciting way than to save your own hard earned pocket money in your own handcrafted money box?
Steps
-
Sit on the floor and lay out the things you need.
-
Use a box, tin, or jar that you wish to store your money in. (Empty tissue box work well)
-
Have the materials you would like to decorate with, duct tape, stickers, colored paper and pens.
-
You must have an opening to stick your money through, some containers and boxes will already have this step.
-
Start cutting, snipping, and taping.... until you have it the exact way you like it.
-
Have fun!

(When I did mine, I used a tissue box and wrapped all the box in pink duct tape and wrote "money box" in black pen on the side.)
