These are the banks we made out of salsa jars. One for saving and spending, one for giving. Each child has a set. They are modeled after My Giving Bank. Excellent tools for teaching stewardship.
Great idea! We'll probably make something similar to this soon. We have talked about giving a small allowance beginning at age 5 (in March), with the condition that it be divided in this way (church/saving/spending). Making his own jar banks would probably excite my son even more. :)
Our oldest gets 2.50, and knows that at least quarter goes in the giving jar. It's amazing to see how unselfish the kids are with their money when they know it ALL belongs to God, and they are just taking care of it.

Can't wait to see pics of your jars, Sherry!
