"The best way to teach your kids about money is to open a brokerage account," said Cramer.

Cramer unveiled his "kid" portfolio, the five stocks he would buy for any child. The portfolio included McDonald's (MCD), for its 3.4% dividend yield. What kid doesn’t love McDonald’s (MCD)? They will also learn to love the company’s management, international growth and 3.4% dividend yield. And the yield, which pays out much more than any savings account right now, will teach young investors about the value of compounding reinvested dividends.

  • DIS
    Walt Disney-disne
  • $29.00
  • +1.54%
  • $28.67

Disney (DIS), with its theme parks and Pixar films, is every kid’s favorite as well. Robert Iger has proved himself a great CEO, and the longevity of Disney’s brand make this a stock that could be owned for years.

  • HAS
    Hasbro Inc
  • $28.75

  • $28.54

Cramer learned a lot about what he knows of money from Monopoly, which is made by Hasbro (HAS). This company also works for a children’s portfolio, as it is a consistent grower and the stock is cheap.

While kids may know the Gap, and frequently wear the apparel maker’s clothes, Cramer thinks VF Corp. (VFC) is a better stock to own. Owner of North Face and other popular brands, VF is a better business.

  • AAPL
    Apple Inc.

  • +3.66%
  • $196.95

Lastly, Cramer urged viewers to buy their kids some Apple (AAPL). After all, it’s only a matter of time before you’re buying them their first iPod – or iPhone. And this company is at the center of a secular growth trend – smartphones and mobile Internet – that should generate returns for at least the next few years.
