Here it is – the tutorial on how to make a divided moneybox! Well, picture tutorial anyways….
I made it through SoYouThinkYou’reCrafty – I had counted myself out mid-week, so it was a bit of a shock in the end. And I don’t need your vote this week – it’s a break. And I haven’t even given thought to the next project – need to get on that!
Back to the moneybox – remember, we needed something different when my son (the 9 year old!) dropped a glass jug at the top of the steps and it broke into a million pieces, on the way down and on the final hit of the hardwood floor. Reenactment:
The kids were involved in making these because that way they have a vested interest to use them. Here’s a summary – –
Well, that was one easy tutorial – – maybe I should keep it to only pictures more often!?! That would probably drive you crazy. But I’m being lazy with writing a tutorial for this. So if you have questions, email me and I can probably get the answers.
The kiddos, owning up to their creations:
And a final view:
Works for us!! If you need a divided money system for kids, this could be your answer. Each box up costing less than $4.

I love these! It is such a great idea and the wood makes them practically indestructable.

We did something similar with our kids, but we used a “cigar” box and they decorated it and our categories were tithe, save, gifts, spend. I think all our kids are good with money now, they are all married. Some may even have their boxes!!

What a cute idea! I don’t have kids yet, but I’m filing this one away for the future!

This is a fabulous idea to help children learn about their money.
Andi says
These are a brilliant idea! Definitely something I will put to use when I have a little one. I love that they each helped with them too.

I was thinking how cool it would be to make one side of the money box plexiglass so they have the visual of the money “rising” inside. I think that visual is why the big class jar was used first, right?

Mandy,
This is such an awesome idea! The one that my son has from the church bookstore was more money than the cost to make all those!
I featured this on my blog today:
