The inspiration for Big Belly Banks came from a goose that chased me. It was trying to get a sandwich out of my hand.  The higher I raised the sandwich the more the goose stretched its neck trying to reach it.  I thought it was hilarious.  Later that day I sketched a cartoon looking goose with a long neck.  I took a pencil and drew a zig-zag line down it's neck.  I thought it would be cool to make a bank that would "Eat" money.  

I made the first bank for one of my daughters birthdays.  Watching and listening to the coins travel down the neck made me laugh.  I thought that other people might like them so I made 500 Ducks and Dinosaurs and took them to a large craft show.  I sold all 500 and took orders for 470 more!

Encouraged by my success at Craft Shows, I obtained multiple patents, and went into business.  That was 25 years ago!

I believe that Big Belly Banks make the perfect gift.
