Here's a fun workbook to get kids thinking about personal finance, and preparing for Thrift Week. Ten pages in length, it's designed to be printed on five sheets of paper. This self-directed workbook teaches the principle of thrift. We recommend giving it to kids to keep them occupied and learning over winter recess.

Regarding page 8: Turning an unproductive pursuit or purchase into a productive one means doing exactly that, as opposed to justifying something. Playing cards is largely unproductive, unless it's done, for example, while visiting the elderly in a nursing home. Buying candy in bulk to resell at a profit is likewise productive.
