Transform bedtime stories into simple lessons

Kids absorb lessons best through stories — and every story can carry a hidden financial message. Classic tales like The Ant and the Grasshopper naturally teach about preparation and wise saving.

Try creating your own stories with simple financial twists:
“What happens when Emma spends all her coins on candy instead of saving for her bicycle?”
“Why did the golden goose stop laying eggs when it wasn’t cared for properly?”

To make it interactive, give your child small “gold coin” tokens to spend during the story, helping them feel the impact of choices.

Stories are a gentle, engaging way to show that money is a tool — one that rewards patience, planning, and smart thinking.
