Teach Your Children How To Save Money with a Free "For Me. For You, For Later" Kit


If you're like many parents of young children, you probably started out saving money for them by putting some change in their piggy bank & maybe even opening up a college fund early on. And as they get older, you'll probably start giving them a little allowance if they complete a few chores each week. So it is very important to start teaching your children early on about how to handle their money responsibly. But, teaching a young child how to practice patience, in any form, can be a daunting task.

Thankfully, Sesame Workshop, the creators of Sesame Street, in partnership with PNC Grow Up Great have created the free "For Me, for You, for Later: First Steps to Spending, Sharing, and Saving" Kit, which provides parents, caregivers, and educators with strategies and resources to turn everyday experiences into financial moments. 


The free bilingual, multimedia full kits include:
  • a Parent and Caregiver Guide
  • a Children’s Activity Book
  • 3 Jar Labels
  • an original Sesame Street DVD that features Elmo, Cookie Monster, and their Sesame Street friends as Elmo learns the basics of spending, saving, and sharing.
 You can download three pieces of the kit here: 
  • The 'Parent and Caregiver Guide'
  • The 'Children's Activity Book'
  • The '3 Jar Labels'

Full Kits are also available for free at any PNC branch, or can be ordered over the phone at
1-877-PNC-GROW.

Enjoy!!


**Update: I just called & ordered one for my daughter. They were very nice on the phone & didn't try to sell me anything-which is always nice:) He said I should receive my kit in approx. 7-10 days. I'm excited!**

Thanks, Common Sense With Money!
