The Money Mammals

My son loved the DVD The Money Mammals created by Snigglezoo Entertainment. With a name like that you know it is kids appropriate. Joe Lanza, Vicki Ariyasu and Sarah Harden brought together their financial, marketing and technology strengths create an entertaining and educational piece about saving, sharing and smart spending.

It is reminiscent of Sesame Street and has its own brand of kid goofiness that makes them want to watch it over and over. Since I was product testing (in a way), I wanted to see what my 5 year old son thought. After watching it 3 times in a row, I finally had to turn down his 4th request. I don't want the little guy glued to the TV when he could be out riding his scooter.

As you can see, it was kid tested and mom approved so go out and buy it. Parents don't realize it is never to early to start teaching your kids about money. With so little education available for our wee ones, this piece really fills the gap.

If you are looking for additional material on how to teach your children to be money-smart, take my online seminar (that I wrote) at MsMoney.com titled: 6 Steps to Raise Financially Responsible Children
