Fantastic idea! A bank, a game, a good message... we don't think it can get better than that. Our mom tester was pleased she could hook this up to the computer and get things started without any help from dad and our eight year old tester had a blast depositing all of her money and launching the games. Together they were able to set goals for how much money would be for spending, saving and giving. Ekomini has found a fun, interactive way to help kids be smart with their money and learn at a young age how to manage their money and budget for things they want to purchase.
