Making Stuff: Kids Money Banks

by This is Carrie on January 10, 2011

I’ve never been able to find the perfect bank for the girls so we finally decided to design and make our own.  Perusing the aisles in the craft store, I found wooden boxes which I compartmentalized with an extra piece of balsa wood (also found at the craft store) and some E6000 glue.  Slots in the top of the box were made with an X-acto knife.

Once all the pre-work was done, the girls had fun picking out and mod podging their paper onto the boxes as well as stamping the labels to help keep their money straight.

Hopefully we’ll start out the new year developing good money saving and spending habits.

Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Hello! I realize this is kind of off-topic but I had to ask.
Does operating a well-established blog like yours take a lot of work?
I’m completely new to running a blog however I do write in my journal on a daily basis.
I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and views online.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners.
Thankyou!

First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t
mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.

I have had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.

I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.

Any ideas or tips? Thank you!
