They are a tangible item that can be placed into a child's hands and identified to the child. Attempting to teach a child the concept of a savings bond by pointing out a line on a computer screen somehow doesn't seem likely to establish the concept meaningfully. Teaching our young to save for future necessities and exigencies is very important. I hope paper bonds never go away. I believe paper bonds have a proper place in educating children to save.
