🤔 What's the Difference?
Needs are things we MUST have to live and be healthy, like food, water, clothes, and a home. Wants are things we'd LIKE to have but don't really need, like toys, video games, or candy!
- •Needs: Food, water, clothes, a safe place to live, medicine
- •Wants: Toys, games, treats, extra fun things
- •It's okay to want things, but needs come first!
🎨 Let's Practice!
Think about your day: Did you eat breakfast? That's a need! Did you play with a toy? That's a want! Both are important, but we always make sure we have our needs before spending money on wants.
- •Before buying something, ask: 'Do I need this or want this?'
- •It's fun to have wants, but we can't have everything
- •Saving for a special want makes it even more exciting!
