Moonjar Review-Help Teach Your Child the Value of a Dollar

My kids, like most children, don't really understand the value of a dollar. They get annoyed whenever I tell them they can't have something, whether its the stereotypical pony or an extra pack of cookies at the grocery store. But thanks to Moon Jar, they are starting to understand that money doesn't grow on trees.

The Classic Moon Jar is a three-sided bank that has a section to spend, to save, and to share. It also comes with a family guide and passbook to track transactions so your kids learn how to save up their allowence for the things they want. It gives them a goal to work for and keeps them from nagging you for it:)  My kids are loving the challenge of saving  up for a video game, while still having candy money. They even decided that the share section was going to go to the relief efforts in Haiti.

We also received a game called "Conversations to Go"    This is a lot of fun for kids and adults, whether they are family you've known forever or new friends.  You get to pick a question out of the box and you have to answer it honestly. One example of a questions is "Rich can mean many things. In which way do you feel rich?"  My seven-year-old's response was "'I'm rich 'cause my mom is gonna win the lottery."  Hope he's right!  Anyway, its a great way to get to know people and when you're playing with kids, it can be a lot of laughs.

Lastly, we received the hard cover book "Noom & Raj Start a Business: The ABCs of Money".  This fun story book teaches children how to use their money to start a business by using the ABCs. It goes through all the steps leading up to opening a lemonade stand.  It also comes with a card board version of the Moonjar.

The items I mentioned are just a few example of the educational books and games available at Moonjar. All of their books and games teach valuable lessons that help your children learn responsibility. If you need a gift for the child in your life, you should consider visiting Moonjar.
