As an expectant mom, I already plan for the future of my kid, and that includes teaching him (or her, we still don’t know yet) the importance of personal finance and how to handle it well. As I imagine most first-time moms would also feel, I am apprehensive whether I will be able to effectively carry out my role as a teacher. But I think that with the right tools, I can handle that responsibility. That’s where Ekomini comes in.
What is Ekomini? It is an interactive piggy bank designed to help parents teach their children to become money-savvy early in life. It is the first and only of its kind, meant for children aged 6-12 years old, and I think this is a great idea to engage children’s interest in learning the value of money through interactive games and fun activities.
How does it work? Every purchase of Ekomini comes with a money box which parents can connect to a computer to aid their kids in learning the ropes of saving, sharing, setting goals and investing. The money box also connects to an online site called Ekominiville, where the actual fun of learning starts. What’s great about it is that parents are given a secure and personalized interface to let us track our kid’s progress!
My child is barely four months in my tummy yet I’m as excited as a kid on Christmas morn because I can’t wait teach my kid the value of money through this great educational toy!
