Teaching your preschooler how to effectively use money will benefit him for the rest of his life.\u00a0 Preschool may seem too early to begin teaching money skills, but it doesn\u2019t have to be formal instruction or difficult. Start small with the following tips.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pretend Play<\/span><\/h4>\n

Most preschoolers love to mimic actions they see in their environment.\u00a0 This type of play is referred to as pretend play or role play and is great for developing language and social skills.\u00a0 Take advantage of your preschooler\u2019s desire to pretend to be a grown up by creating a restaurant or grocery store with your preschooler.\u00a0 Help her create a menu or sale ad with prices that resemble the item\u2019s actual value in real-life.\u00a0 Try to keep prices simple and whole dollar amounts.\u00a0 Your preschooler is sure to enjoy the process of creating a menu, her own money, and running her first restaurant and won\u2019t realize she is learning math through the process!<\/span><\/p>\n

Talk about It<\/span><\/h4>\n

Talk openly about money with your preschooler.\u00a0 As you grocery shop, point out prices and talk through finding the best deal with your preschooler.\u00a0 Show him the cash you have to enjoy a meal with at his favorite fast food restaurant and talk about how much the menu items cost and if he has enough money.\u00a0 Through talking through transactions with your preschooler, he will learn the value of money, how it works, and the names of the coins and bills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Start a Bank<\/span><\/h4>\n

Give your child age friendly chores to complete for an allowance.\u00a0 Help your preschooler create a way to store her allowance and divide it into categories.\u00a0 You may use jars she decorates or two separate piggy banks.\u00a0 Designate one bank for money the child is able to spend now and one for saving.\u00a0 You can also designate a third bank for funds for her to donate.\u00a0 If your preschooler is saving for a specific item, attach a picture of that item and price of the item to the bank to help her keep her goal in mind.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
