Teaching kids how to be responsible with money is a task in and of itself, helping them understand how to manage it and even allocate some to give to others, can be difficult. We made these fun recycled spend, save, and give jars to help us (as a family and as an example) help our kids understand the importance of saving money and giving to others. {Check out this article on raising charitable kids}.

DIY Recycled Spend, Save, Give Jars
When I first saw the idea of the spend, save, give jars, I thought it was just perfect. I am also a fan of recycling items for our crafting.
Check out the video below and see how we made these!
How easy right?! We just used some leftover paint that we had in our basement from various projects, dipped the tin cans about 1/3 of the way down and then wrote the words with a white sharpie after they dried! {I know…a white Sharpie!!}
