Find an empty can or jar to save change in. Cut a piece of 2" construction paper. Pre-measure around your can. Write a verse about patience on it & attach it around the can/jar. If you have a smooth jar, you can also paint the words onto it with acrylic paint & then seal it. I chose Ecclesiastes 7:8 because it is hard to begin savings, but in the end it is worth it.
Plan with your child what they want to save $$ for. Make a plan with them on how long they plan to save & how much they will need weekly to add to their jar to succeed with their plan. This is also a good time to talk about tithing to the Lord & the importance of giving a portion to the church.
I saw this jar on a website & thought this was a great idea for a family project too.
