Kids love to give gifts, not just at Christmas time, but year round. Giving them opportunities around the house to earn dollars and then save them in a glass jar where they can watch it grow is a great way to teach kids how to put a value on things. My girls ages 9 and 7 are always looking for ways to earn money so they can go with their older brothers to the corner store, or so they can give a small dollar store gift to a friend. We wrote about this more last Christmas, how can kids earn money for gifts.
