We understand the importance of starting early, when young minds are most receptive, and that's why we've created an engaging and interactive program for toddlers.
Our innovative flashcards serve as the gateway to financial literacy, introducing even the youngest children to the fundamental building blocks of money management. Through colorful visuals and captivating stories, we empower children with the confidence and tools they need to navigate the complexities of the financial world.
At Little Finances, we believe in the power of stories. We believe that by igniting young imaginations and making learning fun, we can instill lifelong lessons in financial literacy. So, whether you're a parent looking to give your child a head start in financial education or an educator seeking engaging resources, Little Finances is here for you. Together, let's create a generation of financially savvy individuals who can write their own success stories, one flashcard at a time.
You and your children flipping through vibrant flashcards, uncovering the secrets of saving, budgeting, and making wise choices. It's an adventure that sparks curiosity, sets the stage for a brighter financial future, and ignites a lifelong love for financial literacy.
But let's face it, financial education is often neglected in schools. According to recent statistics, only a small fraction of states require high school students to take a personal finance course. This leaves our children ill-prepared to navigate the complex world of money management when they eventually step out into the real world.
Moreover, many parents find themselves in the same boat, lacking the necessary knowledge and resources to guide their children effectively. They crave a place where they can learn alongside their kids, becoming role models in the realm of finance.

Growing up in a home filled with accountants gave me a unique advantage in understanding money. It helped me establish good budgeting and savings skills from an early age. I want to share this advantage with others and make financial education accessible to all.
As a new mom, I knew I wanted to teach my daughter about financial literacy while she was young and curious. But the search for tools and resources proved difficult. That’s why I was inspired to create Little Finances and the interactive flashcards. These colorful cards are designed to introduce kids (from toddlers to pre-teens) to the fundamental building blocks of money management.
Little Finances is the first branch of Little Financial Lab—a place where kids can learn about personal finance in a fun and engaging way. Stay tuned for more.
I’ve witnessed how people (and businesses) with solid financial literacy skills succeeded while others without it struggled. That's why I’m passionate about empowering and educating others through financial literacy.
I'm Festina, a Certified Public Accountant, mom and the proud owner of FMS Advisory - an accounting and tax firm. Throughout my career, I've witnessed firsthand how good financial habits impact lives. It’s what separates the rich from everyone else.

5. Real-life Application
Create a matching game by grouping different concepts (see above examples). Allow your child to find the matching pairs of concepts. This not only reinforces the concepts but also enhances memory and concentration skills.
Encourage your child to create stories using flashcards as inspiration. They can arrange the cards in a sequence and use their imagination to tell a story related to the concepts on the cards.
Act out scenarios based on the concepts depicted on the flashcards. For example, you can pretend to be a customer at a pretend store and have your child play the role of the cashier, practicing concepts like money exchange and making purchases.
Take the concepts from the flashcards and apply them to real-life situations. For instance, when you go shopping, involve your child in decision-making by discussing budgeting and comparing prices.
At Home Setting
Remember to adjust these activities based on the age and grade level of the students. Also, provide opportunities for reflection and discussion after each activity to reinforce learning and address any questions or misconceptions that may arise. By incorporating these ideas into your classroom setting, you can create an interactive and engaging learning experience with flashcards for a large group of students.

3. Flashcard Relay Race
2. Team-based Games
Choose a different theme each week and base your flashcard activities around that theme. For example, you can have a "Money and Jobs" theme, where each day focuses on a specific concept related to careers and money management. Use the flashcards to introduce vocabulary, initiate discussions, and play interactive games related to the theme.
01 Theme of the Week
1. Theme of the Week
Divide the class into teams and create fun flashcard-based games such as a Jeopardy-style quiz or a "Race to the Finish" game. Assign point values to different flashcards, and have teams compete to answer questions or complete challenges based on the concepts depicted on the cards. This promotes healthy competition and reinforces learning in an interactive way.
Set up a relay race where teams have to complete tasks related to the flashcards. For example, one member from each team has to run to a designated area, select a flashcard, and correctly explain the concept depicted on the card to their team before tagging the next teammate. This activity encourages teamwork, quick thinking, and reinforces understanding of the flashcard concepts.
Create a gallery walk activity where flashcards are displayed around the classroom or in different stations. Assign small groups of students to each station and provide discussion prompts or activities related to the concepts on the cards. Students can rotate between stations, engaging in discussions and hands-on activities that deepen their understanding of financial literacy.
Introduce weekly or monthly flashcard challenges to motivate students to engage with the concepts outside of class. Assign specific flashcards for students to study and encourage them to come up with creative ways to present or explain the concepts to their peers. This promotes independent learning, fosters public speaking skills, and builds confidence in sharing knowledge.
