Repurpose an empty shoebox or tissue box to make a piggy bank!
First, cut a long slit in the top of the box (if you’re using a shoebox). That’s where the money will be “deposited.”
Next, decorate the box! Cover it with paper. Draw on it. Glue different objects to it. The possibilities are endless.
Your child can keep their bills and coins in their piggy bank. This fun activity will help reinforce the importance of saving your money! Ask your child to think about what they’re saving toward.

¡Convierte una caja de zapatos vacía en una alcancía!
Primero, recorta una ranura a lo largo de la tapa de la caja (si estás usando una caja de zapatos). Por ahí se “depositará” el dinero. /p>
A continuación, ¡decora la caja! Envuélvela en papel. Dibuja sobre ella. Pégale diferentes adornos. Las posibilidades son infinitas.
Tu niño puede guardar sus billetes y monedas en su alcancía. Esta divertida actividad sirve para recalcar la importancia de ahorrar dinero. Pídele a tu niño que piense qué hará con el dinero ahorrado.
