A fun way to teach your young children about money is with RBC's a new iPad app Learning Money With Leo. It is aimed help kids under 6 with the development of basic money skills and will ensure that they can build upon these essential life-skills for years to come. Plus, it’s a lot of fun, so it’ll also keep them entertained when you most need it!
While Braden really only enjoyed the coloring pages, I can see how this app will be very useful to him when he gets older. I showed it to my nephew Luke who is almost 4 and I was amazed at how quickly he learned about the different coin denominations. He really loved the Gather the Coins game!
