Power Hog : Teach Your Kids How to Conserve Energy

Do you have difficulty in teaching your kids to conserve energy? Or teaching them to save? Here is a good gadget that can help you teach kids to save. It is called Power Hog. As the name suggests, it takes the shape of the famous icon for saving – the pig. It functions as a meter when your kids play video games or watch TV. It uses loose change or coins as “payment” deposited inside it for a set of time to use a game station or the TV. Just simply plug these appliances into the snout of the Power Hog and it will just signal your kid that its time is up. This is also a great gadget to teach your kids discipline.
