Coin-Collecting Cartoon Cats

The Itazura Bank Tama and Friends is a Fun Way to Save Money

As a great stocking stuffer to give to your little ones, the Itazura Bank Tama and Friends piggy banks are a great way to start teaching children about saving money.

Based on the Japanese anime series 'Tama and Friends,' each of the piggy banks in this collection features one of the cute kitty cat characters from the show including Tama, Tora and Beh. The sly cats hide in their little box until you place a coin on the sensor. Then, all of a sudden, the cat's head peeps out and a paw comes to grab your money and scurry it away in the box.
