Learning how to handle money is tricky. So tricky that a lot of adults have still yet to master it. That’s why teaching children how to deal with money can seem like a real minefield.
Not only do you have to educate them about handling coins and notes, and addition and subtraction, but you also have to teach about physical money vs digital money, saving and planning ahead, and about how it definitely does not grow on trees. Therefore we think that you will appreciate some help from toucanBox and their crafty ideas how to help kids learn about money.

Teaching Kids About The Planets
It’s easy to forget that we live on one tiny planet in a huge universe, and even when we begin to talk about it with children it’s a very difficult topic to comprehend. But learning about the solar system at a young age can really inspire astronomy as a passion, ignite imaginations and encourage a long-term fascination that may never leave them.
Butterflies and symmetry craft
Discovering about symmetry in the wild - plants, flowers and animals - is a lot more engaging than learning the rules in a classroom, and offers children the chance to make their own observations and conclusions. Symmetry is an important maths skill; children should be able to list lines of symmetry as a characteristic of many shapes alongside other attributes such as edges and sides. Think square (4 lines), rectangle (2 lines), equilateral triangle (3 lines), and circle (infinite lines!).
Facts and crafts all about bees
Bees play a very important part in our ecosystem. Learn some fascinating facts about bees, make your own cardboard honeycomb, and find out what you can do to protect your local bees.
