Customer Reviews

Good tool!
After purchasing the ATM Safe for our son, we purchased the Money Jar to keep in the kitchen. It is a good tool to help teach the kids the value of money. Now we designate the money in the jar for something special - say a trip to Chuck E. Cheese's. The kids can watch the savings grow and anticipate what the reward will be for saving. They are also learning delayed gratification and patience as well as the hard lesson that you can't get everything that you want NOW. Not bad!!
The only negative - if you don't force each coin into the slots, they can pop back out and the jar registers a deposit for the coin even though it didn't actually make it in the jar.

Love this bank!!!
My son is 6 years old and we bought him this bank last Christmas. He loves putting his change in it, then pouring it out and starting over again. He has learned how to count money and to recognize each coin using this. I am even buying one for his 1st grade class at school. His teacher is going to use it in a money center. A great tool to educate and a lot of fun too.

Good learning tool
We bought this for our 8 year old and she loves it! She can easily read the amount and know exactly how much she has. However, there are a few things that we don't like about it:

#1: There is no on/off switch so I feel the batteries will die very quickly and thus lose our balance.

#2: It doesn't accept anything larger than a quarter.

#3: If your child inserts a coin into the slot far enough to activate the 'counter' but not far enough to go into the jar it will still add that demonination to the balance (even though the coin never actually went into the jar).

All-in-all, these drawbacks would not keep me from purchasing this item again.
