Abstract :
In this paper, we present PiggyBrothers for encouraging good saving habits among children. The PiggyBrothers are savings boxes that can show their feelings to children. These are interaction interfaces that can enhance common activities and use them as an educational interface between children. Finally, children can learn to save money through displaying of emotions as well as saving competition through the PiggyBrothers. Emotions of the PiggyBrothers and competition aim at promoting saving habits among children. We hope that the PiggyBrothers can assist parents in their kids to save money regularly. Good saving habits help children grow into financially responsible adults.
