Please don't let my examples discourage you from this little project. Those of you with greater creativity skills than me will do much better than I have. :)
Aidan has been wanting a piggy bank - no, an actual bank that looks like a pig - for quite awhile now. Since they aren't everywhere you go and at times pricey, I decided we would just make one. So I looked around the house for something to use and found my empty 2 liter soda bottles. (I keep lots of empty stuff around: bottles, milk jugs, toilet paper rolls...) I put the paper on the bottles and had the boys decorate them how they wanted and this is what we came up with.
They may not look like much, but let them put their mark on it, cut a hole in the back of the bottle and you have a nice little bank that you will have to cut open to get money out of. Great way to force them to save. I went to check on the boys tonight and they had fallen asleep with their new banks like a stuffed animal.
