Sesame Street has launched a new program to educate 3-5 yr olds about finances. You can watch finance video clips on the Sesame Street website.
I just finished watching the first video with my 3 yr old and he loved it! It was about Elmo having a dollar and wanting to buy a ball that cost 5 dollars. He learned that he needed to work and save his money to earn the other 4 dollars. By the time he had the $5 dollars he decided to give one to Cookie Monster because he needed cookies- so sweet! Then he decided to buy a less expensive, but still neat ball. I was really impressed with the content of this video.
You can also access a parent guide and a teacher guide from their website along with printable Sesame Street play money. What a fun age appropriate way to teach preschoolers about being responsible with money!
