Dollarize was created to help visualize the concepts of costs and savings for children. The idea is to visually represent dollar amounts on-screen, both the cost of an item and also how much money an individual might have saved. Each dollar is rendered on-screen, illustrating the difference between the two amounts.
In addition, a "merged" view is available that shows one set of dollars, with any excess amount showing with a blue indicator, and any short amount showing as a red indicator.
Dollarize is a great tool to help kidsunderstand money, whether its related to an allowance, a desired toy, or earnings!
