American Plastic Toy Wishlist

And while browsing for a Barbie House at Walmart, I came across a few American Plastic Play Pretend toy. Actually, I re arrange our house a few days a go.. new furniture, new work station (will post photos soon!) and dedicated an area for their toys..seeing how much space their area has, I plan on buying a Barbie house for the little girl. And so to prevent jealousy from my little boy, I also plan on buying a play pretend toy for him. This one is something that he would like:

American Plastic Toys Deluxe Work Bench, $39.98 from Walmart.

Our first American Plastic My Very Own Kitchen, also from Walmart.

but we need a bigger kitchen.. now I want this one instead of a Barbie playhouse:

American Plastic Toys Girls Cookin’ Kitchen, $40.00 from Walmart

and this one too:

American Plastic Toys My Very Own Shop N’ Pay Market $19.87 from Walmart

I like this brand because it’s affordable and the quality of the plastic is superb!

How To Open A Savings Account For Kids

That little piggy went to market.. that little piggy went to bags (?!?).. but this little piggy will go all the way to the bank!

It’s the time of the year where we can spend a few extras and save a lot.. hello 13th month! Hello cash gifts from godparents!

I guess this is the best time to open an account for the kids and as I hop from bank to bank, I made a list of banks that offer savings account for kids:

BDO Junior Savers
BPI Jumpstart Savings
Eastwest Bank Cools Cavers Kiddie
PS Bank Kiddie Savers
Metrobank Fun Savers
RCBC Savings Banks W.I.S.E

Opening a Savings account for kid requires school ID or passport of the kids, photos (usually 2 1×1 photo) and of course the minimum initial deposit and application form from the bank. Kids ages 7 and up (or kids that can write/sign their name) can open an account of their own, while kids below the said age, can have a joint bank account with their parents.

Here’s a comparison of the 6 banks I mentioned:

RCBC Savings Bank WISE Account

Metrobank Fun Savers Club

BDO Junior Savers Club

If you look at the table, PS Bank offers the most, specially with their no initial deposit to open an account policy. PS Bank also has the highest interest rate per anum together with RCBC Savings Bank, the only difference is at RCBC, maintaining balance to earn interest is PhP 5000, while at PS Bank, there is no maintaining balance to earn interest.

I am still thinking where to open a savings account for the kids.. I’ll be very particular with the initial deposit since I will be opening 4 accounts this year (waaah) and of course the location of the bank..and the convenience of online banking. I was planning to allot a few percent of my online income for the kids, so it would be very convenient to me if I can transfer funds to their account thru online.

How about you mommies? Does you kids have their own bank accounts? If yer, what bank? Are you satisfied with your current bank?

And for those planning to open an account for their kids, where do you plan to open an account?
