This is a wonderful way to teach children how to manage their money. I will buy another one later for my other grandchild.

My 6 year old daughter was so excited to receive this piggy bank! She has been so excited to think about how to allocate her money for saving, spending, and charity. Within the first hour, while she was gently adding her money into the different compartments, the piggy bank split in two down the middle! She was so sad. I was able to crazy glue it back together and it seems to be okay now. Hopefully we just got a defective one.

This money savvy pig is a really creative way to teach kids how and why save money, it is cute and my 5 years old son, love it. Now he knows why he is saving money. And for me it is an important tool in his financial education.

We bought this pig as a gift for our 5 year old, because we really want to teach him the value of money in a way that he understands. This piggy bank is a great teaching tool! We took his old piggy bank and divided up all the money that was in it to get started, talking about each section (Save, Spend, Donate, Invest) as we put the money into it. Over the years I think it will be a great example for him of how to handle money well.

We start allowance at 4 (and this is a gift for birthday)-one dollar. Four quarters that they must divide in all four sections. We double allowance each year. We try to just answer questions as they have them. For us, spend is spend. Save is Save (like- never touch as far as they can see). Invest is what they save for- like big purchase (bike, etc). We match what they contribute to it ("401-Dave" style like Dave Ramsey). Donate is for whatever worthy cause THEY see fit. MoneySavyPig has a website too for more tips for parents.

This piggy bank is a great way to teach children about the different things you can do with your money, and the importance of saving, investing, and donating.

I purchased this product for both of my children, a four year old boy and a six year old girl. The different compartments really make them think about where their money is going to go. Both kids are working toward purchasing a gift for Toys for Tots in their "gift" section. It's cool that they can put their own sticker on a section with the item they're saving for. I'm buying this item for all my nieces and nephews for Christmas.

I bought this as a gift for my 3 year-old niece, and she loves it. It's good for teaching about counting and saving, and it's toy that will grow with her as she matures. Right now she just gets excited about putting coins in and taking them out, but soon she'll understand how to use it to save money. My only complaint is that the stickers that come with the bank to use for decorating do not stay on very well.

I love the idea of this piggy bank, but the design is flimsy and dangerous. The little "plugs" on the foot of the pig (for the money to be taken out of eventually, I presume) won't stay locked and fall off constantly. Life with small kids is difficult enough without having spare change tumbling out of a piggy bank all the time if it's moved even an inch or two.

This is a great fun way to teach children that having $ is not all about spending as soon as you get it....We had a problem with one of the chamber plugs getting "stuck" half in & half out, but eventually worked it out. Would like to see the chamber plugs redesigned, maybe sturdier. I proudly showed my grandson's pig (a soon to be birthday gift) to my coworkers.

This piggy bank is a great concept. It offers a visual aid to show how one can allocate money for charity to help others while showing the child how they can acquire what they want and need in life by developing a strategy for saving, budgeting, and investing. This is a very useful tool that I look forward to using as my children grow older. The only drawback is that it's not very durable and the plugs are a bit flimsy. The plastic is a very light material. It dropped on the floor one time and separated at the seam down the middle. Happily, I guess it's not a plastic that cracks or shatters easily. Better results than if I had a ceramic bank, I suppose. It kind of snapped back together and is ok, but it seems that it will be weaker from now on b/c it's not really designed to come apart and snap back. Perhaps that's the way the company should make it in the future. A heavier kind of plastic would be nice as well. Nevertheless, it is holding up and the educational features are highly desirable. Handle Gently.

We have both this pig, and the cow version of this bank. We LOVE it! Both our kids are learning that their allowance isn't all for spending (like real life!!) But some is for saving, charity and investing! We have them give 10% to the three things other then spending so they can learn to understand how to manage money correctly. Love this bank! We had the cow version for a few years and looked everywhere for something like this. In the end, came back and found it again on One Step Ahead. We'd highly recommend.

My daughter just loves this pink pig that saves her money. She loves to count and recount and of course adding money is a delight.

I bought 2 as Christmas gifts- they will be different, and I hope the girls start thinking about saving and handling their money. I need to get one for my 4 year old to start her on the right path of thoughful money choices.

This is great for teaching your kids about money at a young age, which I think is essential these days. The kids love it (we got each of them one - ages 7 and 8), and we even opened up a brokerage account and made their first stock purchase this month. It does require the parents to be active in the process, so don't expect your kids to learn much if you are not willing to participate with them.
