Three jars 
If your youngster is graduating from the traditional piggy bank, move to a three-jar system. You can literally gift three jars (or cans or pottery or even cooler piggy banks) and mark them save, spend and share. The kids should divide future income among those jars and use the money accordingly. To make this really easy, do it online with an account at threejars.com or famzoo.com
