My Giving Bank
from Larry Burkett's Money Matters For Kids.
Dear Parents,
The Bible teaches that God is the true "owner" of everything and that we are simply stewards or managers of it.  Children need to be taught this concept early in their lives, because their natural tendency is just the opposite - "Mine!"  That's why it is so important that they understand both the value of money and how to handle it in ways that are pleasing to God.  My Giving Bank is a practical tool that makes learning about giving, saving, and spending money fun!  As you help your child decide how much money to designate to the church, bank, and store, you will be developing habits that will serve him or her for a lifetime.  The enclosed Faith Parenting Guide will give you valuable tips and suggestions on how to make money management a rewarding adventure - from childhood, through adolescence, to adulthood!
-Larry Burkett
 
Three banks in one allow for giving, saving, and spending!
