How to Use a Bratz ATM Machine

The Bratz ATM is a fun way for kids to learn to save and manage money, and for adults to teach them valuable financial lessons. The Bratz ATM enables your child to choose a savings goal and retrieve her money once she has reached that goal. The PIN also helps safeguard your child's money and provide her with a secure and centralized location in which to keep it.

Things You'll Need

• Phillips-head screwdriver AA batteries

Instructions

1. Turn off the ATM and remove the ATM card. Use the screwdriver to remove the battery head compartment cover, and insert the batteries. Replace the cover and turn on the machine. If you have already used the machine and want to start over, remove the batteries and reinsert them (or put in fresh batteries).

2. Follow the instructions provided by the ATM to set a new PIN. At the same time, press the "Balance" and "Savings" buttons. Enter a five-digit PIN using the numeric keys. Press "Enter."

3. Enter your username by pressing the number keys. Each number has three or four letters next to it. Press the button once for the first letter, twice for the second letter, three times for the third letter and four times for the fourth letter, if it is offered. Correct mistakes by pressing the "Back" button. You will have to wait 2 seconds after each letter is entered to move on to the next letter. Press "Enter" when you are done.

4. Set a savings goal by pressing the "Savings Goal" button. Enter the savings goal using the decimal button to separate the dollars from the cents; for example, 0.47 means 47 cents, 7.60 means $7.60, and 4.00 means $4. Press the "Enter" button.

5. Slowly insert coins into the coin slot. Slowly insert bills into the Paper Currency Slot and then enter the amount the bill is worth, followed by the $ button.

6. Check your balance by pressing the "Balance" button, or press the "Savings Goal" button to check your savings. To change your savings goal, hold down the "Savings Goal" button and wait for the machine to prompt you to enter a new goal.
