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.

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!

My son is 7, and we started paying him a small salary for various jobs/chores he does around the house ranging from helping wash the car to folding laundry. It amounts to about $7 a week. We wanted to find a good way for him to learn the difference in spending, giving, and saving, and the Moonjar seemed like a good solution. The jar itself is metal with plastic lids, all held together with a rubber band. It's not the greatest construction out there, but it serves its purpose. We especially liked the small registry that comes with it, so he can keep track of what's going in and out of his jar. It gives him the ability to practice his math as well has developing good record keeping skills as well as building helpful saving/charitable habits for later in life. We keep it up on top of our hutch because I do not believe it would last long in the hands of our 1st grader, and we just bring it down on "pay" day or when he wants to get some spending money. I can envision it getting broken, or having the lids/separated sections getting lost. Overall, I think this is a great idea, but I do wish it was better constructed.

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!

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)

My husband ordered 3 for our kids - we love it

I bought this as a gift for a birthday gift for an 8 year old boy. I figured it was time for him to start learning about money: saving spending and sharing. Excellent principles for anyone to learn. This is a great tool.
