Financial Literacy for Kids

Ready to become a money expert?

Free resources created for schools and families in Edinburgh to help kids learn about money and finance.

These activities have been developed by accountants and teachers to bring real-world financial knowledge to the classroom. They support the PSHE and Maths curriculum (KS1–KS2) and are designed to make learning money skills engaging and practical.

Why teach kids about money?

Money skills aren't just for grown-ups. When children learn about saving, spending wisely and spotting scams early on, they're building confidence that'll stick with them for life. These resources help kids understand money in ways that make sense to them, using real-world situations they'll actually encounter.

Why schools share these resources

Schools across Edinburgh share our parent-friendly financial literacy resources because they reinforce classroom learning with fun, at-home practice, help schools meet PSHE objectives on money management, saving, and budgeting, and encourage parent-child conversations about money in a safe, age-appropriate way.
