Even little ones can begin learning about money! From pretend play to real-life moments, you can help children build early financial skills by talking and exploring together.

Turn Everyday Moments Into Lessons

• At the store: Point out prices and explain that different things cost different amounts.
• At home: Play pretend store with toy coins and price tags.
• Save, spend, share: Talk about how money can be saved for later, spent wisely, or shared with others.

Ask Money Questions

Encourage thinking and problem-solving:

• What would you buy if you had five dollars?
• How could we save for something special?
• What are some things we need to buy and some things we just want?
