Printable Savings Chart for Kids: Help Kids Set and Reach Financial Goals

Lately we have been talking about kids and finances.  There was this whole post on Teaching Kids About Money: Setting Goals and this post about Teaching Kids About Money with Two Piggy Banks.  We have discussed the very basics of kids and money.  At the end of the day, most kids will have money and they will want to spend that money on something.  Without a goal kids will spend a little bit of money on this crappy toy and a little bit of money on a piece of candy and a little bit more money on some other small item.  We have to help our kids set and reach financial goals.  This printable savings chart for kids will help do just that!

This chart allows the child to fill in their goal (“I’m saving for: ______________”) and to record the date and deposit amount.  Wait a minute, deposit account?  Does that mean we have to use a savings account at a bank of credit union.  Absolutely not.  You can set aside a pencil box, piggy bank, or envelope as a place for special savings goal deposits.  Then they will be able to add the most recent deposit to their previous total.  In the rocket you will fill in how much is 25%, 50%, and 75% of the savings goal.  As your child reaches the goal he/she can color in the rocket as a visual representation of how much more money they still need to save.
