Helping you raise money-smart kids

Money Mae helps turn everyday moments into simple opportunities to talk about saving, spending, sharing, investing, earning, and making thoughtful decisions with money.

Why start early?

Everyday experiences give families a natural place to introduce money words. Keep the conversation simple and follow your child’s curiosity; there is no need to teach everything at once.

Talking about money at home

At the shop, name a choice you are making. When you put something aside for later, talk about waiting. When you share, explain how giving can help someone else.

Money words to introduce

Save: keep some for later. Spend: use money for needs and things we enjoy. Share: give to help others. Invest: give some money a chance to grow over time. Explain that investing can also lose money.

Using Money Mae books

Read together, pause for questions, and choose one idea to revisit during the week. Repetition and conversation matter more than getting every answer right.

Free family resources

Bring the story into your own routine with the upcoming coloring pages, activity sheets, and family conversation guides.

For educators

Use Mae as a shared story-time character to introduce simple vocabulary. Invite children to describe choices, waiting, and kindness without asking them to share private information about their family’s finances.
