For today's website, I actually picked two. These websites were the ones I've found that provided the most information and useful tools for teaching kids about finances:

www.kidsfinances.com This site is run by Hollis Page Harmon, who is also the author of the book "Money $ense for Kids" The website teaches kids about finances through games and activities such as creating your own bill (a la Schrute bucks).

www.moneyinstructor.com/kids.asp This site provides articles and resources for teaching kids to become entrepreneurs, giving kids allowances, making money and finding a job, and teaching kids money skills such as budgeting, paying taxes, and using credit cards. It offers a breakdown by age group, starting from pre-K and finishing in 12th grade. There are a variety of lesson plans for use by teachers and parents.
