As part of ongoing efforts to promote financial literacy education across the state, the Ohio Treasurer’s office has released a free winter-themed financial literacy activity toolkit.
The Fun with Finance Teacher Toolkit is designed for students in grades 1-5 and focuses on the foundations of budgeting. The “Can You Build a Snowman on a Budget?” classroom activity asks students to use a worksheet to gather items for their snowman while remaining within a set budget of $15.
Each snowman accessory, such as a hat or buttons, costs $1-$3 and students must choose an item from each category to complete their snowman. Through this activity, young Ohioans will receive an introduction to making smart financial choices within a budget - all while enjoying a fun, seasonal craft.
