Teach kids about the world of money with Planet Orange!
At ING DIRECT, we think the key to a sound financial future is starting early. We know that finance isn't exactly the most exciting topic for kids. So, we've created Planet Orange at orangekids.ca ? a website designed to teach kids (grades 1-6) about earning, saving, spending and investing in a way that's safe, engaging and most importantly, fun!
But kids aren't the only ones who'll benefit from this free, interactive experience that's both a fun activity centre and educational tool: Parents and Teachers can use it too. With Planet Orange, kids can participate in a variety of exciting, space-themed activities that teach them about money and its uses, while Parents and Teachers are supplied with additional resources to help educate and encourage discussion on the topic.
The site also features a Parent Centre, specially designed to help parents learn more about Planet Orange and how it works.
We hope that you and the kids enjoy exploring Planet Orange and that it helps to make learning about money a little easier... and a lot more fun! If you do, don't forget to E-mail a Friend to let them know about Planet Orange and the features it has to offer.
