Allowance Jars


In my never-ending and not so successful quest to be more organized, I am trying to set up a mommy-command station.  I'm not ready for the big reveal, but here is my kid's Allowance Jars.  I was inspired by  Nefotlak's hair station. (her pic is way cuter than mine)

I painted a piece of scrap wood green, covered it w/ glaze like my Kitchen Island.  I  sprayed some old knobs white, and screwed them into the wood. The I used some wire to attach  old jars to the board.  Finally I cut out "1, 2, 3" out of vinyl.

I also saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it was genuis:  The idea is that you print out  a pic off what you're saving for.  I plan on doing this w/ the kids.
Start a savings shadow box with a picture of what they're saving for. This would also be cool for the kids, to teach them to save for something.
