Financial literacy remains an underdeveloped fundamental skill among elementary school students in Indonesia—specifically in Pelalawan Village—where students tend to spend their entire daily allowance without the habit of setting aside a portion for savings. This community service initiative aimed to enhance financial literacy understanding and instill a saving habit from an early age among students at SD Negeri 001 Pelalawan. The program was conducted over two days using an educational-participatory approach combined with hands-on learning; activities included interactive presentations on currency recognition, the "3D" method for verifying banknote authenticity, and financial literacy concepts, alongside educational games and a practical session on decorating piggy banks made from used cardboard. The results demonstrated the students' enthusiasm and active participation throughout the sessions, indicating improved understanding of money management and a stronger motivation to save consistently using the piggy banks they had created themselves.
