Elmo Rocks!

Elmo and I have something in common. No, it’s not red fur. It’s teaching kids about Spending, Sharing and Saving!

Sesame Street has a brand new free series of videos called “for me, for you, for later” to help parents teach their pre-school children about money with the help of Elmo. This is awesome. Yes, I did watch a few of the videos…who can resist Elmo! Now it’s your turn to check them out.

In addition there were two articles about the Sesame Street launch that are worth reading:

• “Too young for finance?Think again” by NY Times reporter Ron Lieber
• “No Child is too Young to Learn about Money Values…Just Ask Elmo!” by Beth Kobliner, a personal finance commentator and journalist

Time for me to go put on my red cashmere sweater…ha-ha!
