85% of the brain is formed by age 3, and this sets the foundation for all future learning. Kids learn about toys, cars, dolls, makeup, buying and so much more from a very young age. Standard curriculums cover many things, but one MAJOR topic is missing – and that is financial education!! As with all good habits, good financial mindsets are learned early in life. I decided to design and create these well-researched worksheets to help children learn the essentials of personal finance. These concepts are simple and fun to learn, but the underlying ideas are sophisticated enough to be used by some of the best investors in the world, even including Warren Buffet!

This 30-page workbook includes real-life educational concepts, tracing, maze, connect-the-dot, and goal-setting activities. It also has credit-card, debit-card, coffee-card and play money cutouts. It includes addition, subtraction, saving, budgeting and investing concepts. The pages are colorful, kid-friendly, and diverse in representation.

Keep in mind: these worksheets are not for just one-time use, but to bring up in discussions and repeat to start developing a healthy mindset about budgeting, debt, savings, goal-setting, and more. During this young age, it’s both fun and important for children to learn about money through hands-on activities, puzzles and games – and they learn best from repetition and practice!

I hope your child enjoys learning about finances as much as my own have, and that this sets a positive foundation that will allow them to handle their finances in the right way.
