Parents can discuss with their kids about who they would want to help most. When the baby bank is filled, a special event can be planned to deliver the money to the charity, or a trip to the bank and post office to mail a check.<br /><br />The goal is to create positive feelings of doing good will make an indelible mark upon their character and place philanthropy as an important and intrinsic aspect of their life.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpX57n-VBKo36iMXmJdyhMgwNkhPPbKgupoY3R9Gqfye5QVeKtgGxKeA21LRTrDyilCRB2SyyNm5H3nSn8mOBytGudzaWVEFuwGBVSGtrq2oak_nJCoRp8BWbr7o2d6ID6e9muJyod8Xcz/s1600/piggy_logo.gif" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513160643014337250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpX57n-VBKo36iMXmJdyhMgwNkhPPbKgupoY3R9Gqfye5QVeKtgGxKeA21LRTrDyilCRB2SyyNm5H3nSn8mOBytGudzaWVEFuwGBVSGtrq2oak_nJCoRp8BWbr7o2d6ID6e9muJyod8Xcz/s400/piggy_logo.gif" style="cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 65px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.goodlittlepiggy.com/shop.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Buy the Piggy Nesting banks here</a> (They donate 3% of the profits to charity)<br /><br />For resources on possible charities, go to the<a href="http://www.goodlittlepiggy.com/charity.html"> 'Charity' tab of their site.</a><br />The designers want to know your own inspiring story, <a href="mailto:piggy@materious.com">send it to them here.</a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZiqiFojRSNtKG9v29-jkBRfa7qNTPYgX84b48xGtxZsiEYVJq0WjJnnYa8xVgq94l9K0a-vwrvGajTpU4THL4OFtUWNl9MwRQfnbxWxByr8hEDfJIP6pmV4HJvtvgttTcpqXULw0MEMfQ/s1600/stephanie+and+Isla+rey.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513153114927897954" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZiqiFojRSNtKG9v29-jkBRfa7qNTPYgX84b48xGtxZsiEYVJq0WjJnnYa8xVgq94l9K0a-vwrvGajTpU4THL4OFtUWNl9MwRQfnbxWxByr8hEDfJIP6pmV4HJvtvgttTcpqXULw0MEMfQ/s400/stephanie+and+Isla+rey.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 534px; height: 451px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >above: Stephanie of Materious, with her inspiration.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.materious.com/">Materious</a> is also the company who brought us the fabulous <a href="http://www.samuraiumbrella.com/">Samurai Umbrella.</a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >all images and info courtesy of <a href="http://www.materious.com/">Materious</a> and special thanks to <a href="http://www.stilsucht.de/09/2010/piggy-gutes-schweinchen/">Stilsucht</a> for bringing this to my attention.</span>
