The Bible teaches that God is the true "owner" of everything and that we are simply stewards or managers of it. Children need to be taught this concept early in their lives, because their natural tendency is just the opposite--"MINE!" That's why it is so important they understand both the value of money and how to handle it in ways that are pleasing to God.
My Giving Bank is a practical tool that makes learning about giving, saving and spending money fun! As you help your child decide how much money to designate to the church, bank and store, you will be developing important habits that will serve him or her for a lifetime. The enclosed literature will give you valuable tips and suggestions on how to make money management a rewarding adventure from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. Recommended for ages 4 and up.
Molded blue plastic, sturdy construction, easy to apply decals provided., gift boxed, 8" x 12". Semi-transparent to allow kids to view their money in the bank.

This is a perfect way for children to SEE how they should and can save in a biblical way. Teaching them young helps them grow up knowing how to use the money God provides. I recommend this bank for all children.

The design and colors of the bank are excellent. I love the concept. We also find the literature re: savings and using the bank very helpful. Found the stickers did not stay on very well, and to open the bottom to take money out and replace the stopper not great, however.

We love this bank! The different compartments made it easy to explain to our 6 & 7 year old which money went where, and the fact that you can see through it gets them excited...especially since we balled the money up and it looks like there is a lot more there than it is. I have recommended this to several people and will continue to give it as a gift.

We purchased this bank for each of our children this year for CHRISTmas. They loved them!!! Our children receive "commission" not allowance in our home. They get paid once a month and are required to give at least 10% to church and 10% to savings. Thank you for helping them keep track of God's money!

Very nice quality -- comes in its own box. I got one for each child this year. Parents love this. Kids get to put the stickers on the doors and windows. It's very nice.

Very disappointed... the plugs on the bottom to keep the coins in were difficult to get off & on! I personally feel it is NOT worth the money. We use a regular piggy bank.

This is the eighth Giving Bank we have purchased for our grandchildren. Our adult children have requested them for each of our grandkids. They are an excellent tool to encourage giving and learn how to handle money. I think of dear Larry Burkett each time I see one of these banks in our grandkids' rooms!

This is the third one I have given to my grandchildren! This one was requested by my granddaughter when she saw the one I gave her brother! It really teaches them how to handle their money. They are well pleased, and so am I.
