I've been buying them since my oldest was born. Also FYI... If possible try to buy "I" bonds right now they are @ a fantastic rate. I really need to get in & order a few for us. I think they were @ over 6.50%.
Also CD's aren't paying the best but they are starting to gain ground again. Some places will allow you to opt to have your quarterly dividends mailed to you. So that may be a fun idea for the dc's to see their investment paying off.
