Piggy banks are a great investment for a kid. We need to teach our children the cycle of earning and spending. This helps the children in the long run. This will help them form better budgets when they need to. When the children will grow up they will earn and spend as well. If they will know how to manage their finances well, it will help them in their adulthood. The habit of saving helps one and all alike. If someone is able to develop this virtue early, it is a great boon for their overall personality. Let us lay the foundation for a better tomorrow of our children today by helping them make piggy banks which will later teach them savings.
Coin Bank Box from Cardboard
We are going to make a simple piggy bank but it is impressive enough to make your children gape in awe. First of all take two rectangular pieces of cardboard and cut a similar sized cavity out of both of them. Now take another same sized rectangular, this time do not remove the cavity, just cut it on three sides. Now join all these pieces together. Now take six pieces of cardboard squares. Now secure these pieces together using a glue gun. Leave one side open. Now place the already made piece. Place another rectangular piece on it and secure it in place, now the upper layer can move. Now for the last part cut the piece to the size left and paste it there. Now decorate the piggy bank with your own choice of colours. You can either paint it or cover it in some coloured sheets of paper. For better understanding of this piggy bank DIY look up:

Paste them on the back and place the 7cm piece through it.
