Does your child ever ask for toys or games?
For this activity your child will pretend to choose a toy to buy, from a catalogue or online. With an imaginary amount of pocket money, they will work out how long it would take to save for the toy. This will help your child to understand that they can make choices about how to spend or save their money, as well as understanding the value of items.

The theme of 'toys' is a great way to teach financial education. Children can consider the cost of buying toys and how long it would take to save up for a toy.

This activity is part of our range of Money Heroes resources for children with special educational needs.

These resources have been adapted to be flexible for use in a range of settings and with children of varying abilities or special educational needs. Rather than using age groups or key stages, each activity has been given a difficulty level, based on children’s financial knowledge, skills and understanding. Practitioners should choose activities based on the financial capability level of the children they are working with.

This is an **intermediate** level activity – this level suits children who have some financial education knowledge and are beginning to understand simple financial concepts such as spending and saving.
