PIGGY BANKS are a safe and fun place to put some of your money! The very first step on our money adventure is to get TWO of your VERY OWN PIGGY BANKS—one for SAVING and one for SHARING.*

Watch the video, "LEARNING TO SAVE," so you can see why piggy banks are so important.

1. Have your Mom or Dad take you to a store, and pick out TWO inexpensive PIGGY BANKS. Make sure the PIGGY BANKS have an opening on the bottom so you can remove coins and bills every week or so without breaking or destroying them.
2. You'll also need an inexpensive COIN PURSE or WALLET so you will have a place to put the money you are going to SPEND.

* OPTIONS: You could make your own banks by using plastic margarine or food containers or boxes, and decorating them to look like PIGGY BANKS. You can also get PIGGY BANKS at a regular store or recycle shop. If you'd like to have look-alike SIGGY & MIGGY PIGGY BANKS, click here.
