Talking to kids about the F word. FINANCE. It\u2019s all rather hush hush and we may know from our own experiences of school that more can be done to educate our kids about all things to do with money.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\nHere\u2019s five ways to teach kids about money:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n
1<\/span><\/div>\n

There\u2019s so many great online resources, especially post lockdown, we\u2019ve seen a rise in home learning resources launch and it\u2019s free! We\u2019ve been reaching out for activities on The Bank of England<\/a><\/strong> and Great Little Trading Co for all things money<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
2<\/span><\/div>\n

Turn playtime into an undercover money lesson by taking it in turns to play shop. The Le Toy Van cash register<\/a><\/strong> is a classic. But we also LOVE the Chad Valley Cash Register from Argos<\/a><\/strong>, you’ll get 1% back for your kids too. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
3<\/span><\/div>\n

Make saving fun by helping them to set goals and of course, getting hold of a fun piggy bank. The OYOY Ninka money bank from Scandiborn<\/a><\/strong> is a must. Or for more a futuristic approach, do it all on Osper<\/a><\/strong>, the super cool pocket money app for parents and kids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
4<\/span><\/div>\n

There\u2019s loads of books available at Waterstones<\/a><\/strong> that will help teach kids about money. We sway towards the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Homer\u2019s version of the story is great, watch it here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
5<\/span><\/div>\n

Get them involved in their own Beanstalk journey<\/a><\/strong>. Update them when a family member has given them a gift. Ask them to write a thank you message in response to their gift. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Making family saving easy for all<\/h3>\n

The Beanstalk app<\/a><\/strong> is changing the way families save for their kids. With a range of tools at your fingertips to help you save into our own unique no minimum Junior ISA (and ISA). Whether your goal is \u00a3500 or \u00a350,000, we’ve made saving easy and accessible for all.<\/p>\n

We are bringing child savings into the 21st century. Join the revolution in as little as 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
