Write a Note to the Recipient and Decorate the Envelope

Use the enclosed materials to write a card and decorate the envelope. Express your encouragement and include a hopeful message. 

Decorate the Piggy Bank

Use the included materials, as well as any materials you have, to customize the piggy banks. Make one piggy bank for each of the following pillars: Save, Spend and Donate.

Surprise Kyndness

Decorate the outside of the journal with a picture or uplifting message. Use random pages in the journal to write short uplifting messages, draw small colorful images, or create fun writing prompts for the recipient.

Mini White Board

Stick the white 5 x 8 stickers to the back of the whiteboard. Use the crayons, colored pencils, or other writing materials to decorate the stickers with an uplifting message or picture for the recipient to see while using the board.

Decorate the Coin Pouch

Use the included materials to decorate the coin pouch. Tip: place a piece of paper on the inside of the pouch before decorating to prevent the marker from bleeding through.

Make Financial Literacy Flashcards

Color in the flashcards to make them fun and colorful! Cut them out and use the rubber band to secure them. 

*We are currently transitioning this activity. If you have index cards, please create your own flashcards using the terms/definitions and index cards. 

Financial Literacy Workbook

This workbook is intended to be used by the recipient to play games and complete exercises that will improve their financial literacy. The smarties in this kit are used for one of the games in the workbook, so make sure those stay in the kit.
 
(If you are completing this kit with your children, please feel free to grab a piece of paper and do these exercises with them. Just make sure to leave the workbook blank so the recipient can complete it.)
