Looking for fun, educational & frugal activities to do with your child? Mom on Dealz will provide you with weekly activities to keep your children learning while you stay on budget!
June 1st was “Flip Coin Day”. There are so many activities that can be done with coins but I have picked my favorites and listed them below.
Piggy Bank
Materials:
Oatmeal container, coffee container, pringles can, etc
sturdy cardboard
Knife (for adult use)
1 penny, 1 nickel, 1 dime, 1 quarter
pencil
white paper
crayons
Directions:
1. Cut a sheet of paper to wrap around your “bank”. Have your child decorate it.
2. Glue or tape the paper to the container.
3. Have your child “rub” an impression of each coin by placing paper over them and coloring over them. Glue the pictures to the lid of the container.
4. Cut holes next to each picture for coins to be inserted.
5. Cut 2 pieces of cardboard to fit standing in the containter. Arrange them so that there are 4 divided areas in the container.
6. Place the lid on top of the container so that each hole is over one of the divided areas inside.
7. Start saving!
