Picture-based chores make expectations clear, even for younger children. Add your own tasks so every child knows what needs doing without repeated reminders.
Give them a reason to keep going
Use bonuses, milestones and special rewards to recognise extra effort. Kids stay motivated while learning that bigger goals take patience and persistence.
Make saving feel rewarding
As children save, their tree grows from a seedling into a forest. Progress becomes visible, helping them feel proud of choosing to save rather than spend.
Nothing counts until you approve it
Children can mark chores as complete, but their balance only changes when you approve the work. You stay in control without having to manage every task in the moment.
Always know what each child has earned
Every approved chore updates a clear running balance. Whether you pay in cash or transfer money to their bank account, there is no more guessing what each child is owed.
Keep app balances matched to real life
Quickly compare Sprout with each child’s cash or bank balance and correct any differences. Your records stay accurate, even when money changes hands outside the app.
The Savings Tree
Savings they can watch grow.
Every child gets their own savings tree. As their balance grows, so does their tree. From a tiny seedling into a whole forest, turning an abstract number into something kids can see, feel, and be proud of.

The Research
Built around how kids learn.
Research shows that chores, real responsibility and hands-on money practice help children build life skills that last.
Responsibility starts small
Regular, age-appropriate chores have been linked to children's self-confidence, helpfulness towards others and belief in their own ability.
White, DeBoer & Scharf, 2019
Money is learned by doing
Research suggests hands-on experience with real money plays an important part in how children pick up financial skills.
LeBaron & Kelley, 2021
