Elf on a Budget
WHY IS HOLIDAY BUDGETING IMPORTANT FOR KIDS?
- Understanding Limits: Kids learn that money is a limited resource and how to prioritize their spending.
- Thoughtful Giving: By planning a budget, kids focus on meaningful, thoughtful gifts rather than just wanting everything.
- Delayed Gratification: They learn to wait and save, which builds patience and financial discipline.
- Creative Problem-Solving: Encouraging DIY gifts or side hustles helps kids think outside the box to stay within their budget.
- Learning the True Value of Gifts: They discover that love and thoughtfulness matter more than how much a gift costs, fostering generosity over materialism.
“This Year, I Will…”
The start of school brings more than just new supplies—it’s a chance to set the tone for the year ahead. That’s why we created our “This Year, I Will…” Bookmark Set, designed to help kids build the future-ready skills they need to succeed in school and life.
THREE TIPS FOR BUILDING FUTURE-READY HABITS AT HOME:
- Choose a Trait Together. Talk with your child about which bookmark trait fits their goals this year.
- Keep It Visible. It’s a daily visual reminder of the kind of person they’re working to become.
- Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection. When your child shows growth—like taking initiative or managing money—call it out. These small wins build lifelong confidence.
