Paint Your Savings: Creative Piggy Banks for Smart Money Habits

Help me give my students ceramic diy creative piggy banks to foster financial literacy.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McMahon's classroom raised $456

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help us empower students to become financially savvy and creatively inspired! We are requesting DIY Ceramic Piggy Banks-unglazed white piggy banks that come with paint strips and brushes-so each student can design their own unique piggy bank. This hands-on project will foster financial literacy, personal finance skills, and artistic expression.

Students will learn the importance of saving by using their self-designed piggy banks as a practical tool to collect and manage their money, reinforcing lessons about budgeting, goal-setting, and the value of delayed gratification By branding their piggy banks with their own artwork, students will also explore concepts of personal branding and entrepreneurship, learning how design can reflect identity and values.

This project connects art with real-world financial skills, helping students take ownership of their financial futures while expressing their creativity.

Your support will provide students with a meaningful, multidisciplinary experience that blends art, financial education, and personal growth. Thank you for helping us paint the way to brighter financial futures!
