A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned
According to mint.com, the piggy bank has interesting beginnings, starting off in 15th century Europe when pottery was crafted with orange clay. This clay was actually called “pygg clay,” which some believe had some influence in the name “piggy bank,” that came about later in the 20th century. The idea for a change storage container came about when Europeans emptied their pockets at the end of the workday into a clay container. The “piggy” was chosen as a symbol of financial prosperity and good luck. Piggy banks have been made of different materials through history including plaster, plastic, porcelain, and terra cotta.
Teach the value of saving
As a classic children’s gift, it also offers a great way to teach children about the value of saving money early in life, in a fun and understandable way. Teaching children a valuable life skill makes these StorkGifts piggy banks worth their weight in gold.
If children receive an allowance, saving is a great habit for them to get started on. Parents can motivate children to complete extra chores by suggesting they save up money in their piggy banks for a special toy once the pig is full. Consider offering children who complete their homework and receive good grades a small cash reward that they can put into their pig.
While today’s word revolves around digital currency and credit cards, teaching children the value of every penny is an important step in establishing a healthy financial future. According to Charles Schwab, children as young as three years old begin picking up adults’ attitudes and actions in regards to money. Charles Schwab also recommends taking the coins out of the piggy bank periodically to teach children how to count money and so they can see deposits “growing.”
Choosing a large or jumbo-sized StorkGifts piggy bank is a great choice for school-aged children saving for college or a big purchase, such as a first car.
