Poupi and the Piggy Bank Gang: Financial Literacy Activities for Kids

Does your child ask for everything they see on the grocery store shelf? With this book, they discover through play why it's worth waiting.

Poupi is a piggy bank who saves coins to make dreams come true. Together with siblings Tico and Lara and Mia the Little Coin, he helps the gang save money for a bicycle the two siblings will share. Following this story, the child goes through five stages: what money is, where it comes from, the difference between needing and wanting, how to save toward a goal, and why sharing feels good.

It has 32 pages of coloring pictures, mazes, word searches, and fill-in-the-blank sentences. Each idea comes back in different formats, so the concept sticks without you having to repeat a lecture. Print at home and hand it over with the colored pencils. You don't need to plan a lesson or hunt for activities online, and the screen stays off.

Prices appear as drawings of little coins, not as numbers. That's why the material works for ages 5 to 9, even for kids who are still learning to count.

Near the end, the child builds their own Goal Piggy Bank: a chart to color in for every coin actually saved. Hang it on the fridge and track together, week by week, how much is left to reach the dream. Whoever reaches the last page earns the Little Saver Certificate.

A guidance page for parents and educators offers conversation ideas to bring the topic into everyday family life, whether in the grocery store checkout line or when deciding what to do with an allowance.

What you get:
