Environmentalism and frugality often co-mingle. Yes, I will pay more for organic, fair trade items but I also like to think that I find other ways to be more frugal in my life so that it all balances out.
Teaching kids about the value of a dollar is something that I find quite hard though. Luckily I found something really fun that helps in this regard…and the kids love it too. It is called The Money Mammals.
The Money Mammals can help teach kids 2-6 about the value of money. They can learn that saving, sharing and spending smart can actually be fun. In their song-filled debut show, Joe the Monkey and friends learn to Share & Save & Spend Smart, Too. Clara J. Camel’s birthday is coming up and Joe and his friend, Piggs the Bank, NEED to buy her a present. But they also WANT to buy the new Coconut Hero Card. Come join the fun as Joe and Piggs learn that saving money for a friend can be more fun than buying something for themselves.
In addition to the DVD you can also purchase a gift package that inlcudes a nifty “Joe the Monkey” bank. These products have won quite a few awards and they rate good with kids too so be sure to check this product out and stop by the site to download the “Money Mammals Theme Song.”
