New Resources for Educating Kids About Money

Looking for materials to engage kids and get them thinking about money? Here are a few sites suggested by Susan Sarver of FINRA.

The US Mint has a wonderful children’s area at http://www.usmint.gov/kids/campCoin. This site includes coloring pages that you may download and print…and much more.

The Federal Reserve has some free fun comic-type books for kids at http://www.federalreserveeducation.org/teachers.

The Credit Union National Association has a “Thrive by Five” program that has terrific activities to teach preschoolers about saving and investing at http://www.creditunion.coop/pre_k. These activity sheets can be given to parents, and are available in English and Spanish.

You may also enjoy looking at the resources available at “Money on the Bookshelf.”  This site contains numerous resources for parents and children. http://www.unce.unr.edu/programs/sites/moneybookshelf/concepts/
