Goal sheets are a great way to visually introduce the concept of saving to young toddlers. It also teaches them how to set limits on themselves and how to budget for the things they really want. Download and print your goal sheets for free by clicking here.
Find a toy or gift that they really want. Find a picture of it and glue it to the left side of the goal sheet. Put in the dollar amount, circle the type of currency being saved up for and outline the goal box.
As they save money, let them count the dollars and check off the boxes towards their goal. Explain to them how they are progressing and how many left they have to go. It's a great way to introduce them to basic arithmetic. You can also try to get them to draw neat x's in the boxes to get them to practice early handwriting.
When they get to the goal box, make a huge deal about it. Tell them that you are going to get them their toy immediately. We suggest that you shop small and find a local store in your area to support with your purchase.
