Classic MoonJar Award Winning SAVE SPEND SHARE Educational Tin Toy Bank with Passbook| Moneybox for Children 3+ Years | Teaches Responsible Money Management & Financial Skills

We're doing the "spend-save-share" allowance thing with our nine year old daughter, so I was looking for a bank that would make that simpler. I was a little hesitant to purchase this because it seemed on the smallish size and a little pricey, but it's been a GREAT bank. The bank itself is translucent and slides out of the sleeve it arrives in, so you can see the money that is inside and how it builds up. It holds both change and paper money. The three parts of the bank come apart, so your child can bring the "save" part with her to the bank or bring the "share" part with her to local orgnizations (we volunteer at a local animal shelter, so she brings the little "share" section of the bank with her to the shelter and puts the money into the donation box), etc. It also comes with a little bank book, so your kids can input the money as it comes and goes. All in all, I think this is a great introduction to actual banking, as well as a great way to watch money grow over time. Very neat, and great quality.

We use this for our 8 year old to gain some financial insight, and honestly it has worked out better than I expected! He does have to be reminded to write down when he adds and takes money out. So I do most of the writing because his handwriting is sloppy, but we love the concept and he has saved all his money for the last 6 months. We go to the store and he passes up buying things. 6 months ago he would blow through all his money. Really good concept to help them appreciate money.

Works great for my 6 year old who already is starting to understand needing to divide his allowance between spending now, saving for later, and gifts for others. I’d say it’s unlikely this would be successful for kids younger than that (stick with one little bank that helps them just save)

Note on capacity - Putting paper money quickly reduces the overall capacity, it's hard to make sure coins land on top of bills to flatten them. If you want to be able to put a lot of money in these, but don't have a lot of coins, I'd suggest parents (or whoever) to buy a package of those little round, plastic counters, or toy coins. You could convert smaller bills to "quarters" or label them for specific bill sizes. I think a kid especially might find filling one of the containers to the brim more exciting this way, as by the end, unless you use a lot of larger bills, there'll be more money in it. I got this for myself to split a couple of different goals I'm saving for. I didn't like the form factor of keeping mason jars with lids, and I have a hard time not forgetting where I put cash envelopes or accordion folders. These banks are held together by a yellow rubber band, and keeping them in the die-cut paper base helps hold it together a bit as well. However, the best place to put the rubber band is around the middle of the containers, but the die cut has a tendency to get stuck under the rubber bands at most positions I put it at. The lids are a little hard to remove, too. I suppose this helps them be extremely mild deterrents to a child opening them sooner, but I also feel like the metal isn't strong enough that you can pry at will. Overall I like these, they help keep me organized. I think a family would find this to be useful for kids learning money management, or even just to keep multiple piggy banks in one easy-to-store unit.

Purchased two for my kids and they love it. Husband and I decided we wanted to start giving our kids money but we wanted them to earn it. We figured right now is the perfect time to start seeing the value of money and the work that needs to be put in and the rewards that are to come. They love counting up their ones and having the three different compartments helps them divide up their money. They are tin cans and the cans haven't been dropped but they seem very sturdy. Highly recommend for kiddos starting age 6.

SUCH A GREAT INVESTMENT! I bought two of these wonderful Moonjars, one for each of the kids (6&8) . It's been such a game changer around our house. They are excited about saving, spending and sharing their allowance, as well as all the fun ideas of how they want things to go when each section gets full. Definitely a great learning tool while teaching children about the responsibilities of money!

This is a great tool to teach kids about how to use their money. My toddler loves playing with this money bank. The only thing that bothers me about it is that it is held together by a rubber band and has many parts (tops, sections, and rubber band). Therefore, it’s easy for a toddler to dent and lose parts. Overall though, I really like it.

What a fantastic gift for a child! I gave each grandchild one of these banks and some dollar bills so the child could decide what to spend, what to save, and what to share. A lifetime of learning!

This has really opened up conversation about saving and money management with my 6 yr old. He is understand that he has to save for what he wants, and he was super excited to take his 'save' box to the bank and open a saving account. He likes being able to buy candy or a toy when we go out, he has a sense of pride and independence when he counts his money and buys something. He used his 'share' money to make a donating to the animal shelter at the end of the school year in his teachers name.

Starting my 5 year old on concepts around money...interesting kit

Very good product to tech your kids how to save money and how to spend

We just started giving our kids a small allowance but want to start right from the beginning to teach them how to manage their money. This is a good tool for that!

The best idea for teaching kids about money, saving and taking care of others. We have a bank for each kid. So great!
