Gifts that help kids fill their piggy banks
by Liz Pulliam Weston

These piggy banks, songs and games teach kids how to save money -- but they also make it fun. What better way to get good habits started early?

Get in the Habit! Sammy’s Savings Songs.

Cost: $5, plus shipping and handling.

Description: A CD of six original pop tunes celebrating savings.

Pros: Great, bouncy music and lyrics that make learning about saving fun.

Cons: The Web site doesn’t make ordering easy; you have to send an e-mail to start the process.

Creator quote: “Changing children’s lives one dime at a time!”

Comments: I confess that I slid this CD into my car stereo with trepidation -- and I only did it because creator Sam X Renick seemed like such a nice guy. Kids’ musical CDs can be ear-splittingly awful, and the more sincere the makers, the more terrible they seem to be. Seconds after the music started, however, my two-year-old and I were bopping away to the beat; since then, I’ve been known to play the thing when she isn’t even in the car. Sam also sells two good kids’ books about super saver Sammy Rabbit, as well as a poster.
