My son is only 2 & a half. When I come home with some change I give it to him to put in his money box. He always goes and shows his mum and then I have to lift him up so he can put each coin in one at a time and we count them as he does.
He has a little money pouch he calls his purse (after his mums one) he sometimes puts the coins in this, so he can buy his mum a chocolate from the shops. We also get him to hand the money to the cashier when we go shopping. Hopefully he will understand that things just don't appear and that they actually cost money.
As he gets older we will teach him the ins and outs of saving, IPs etc
No 2 is due in a week so will have to go through it all again with them also.
