The Money Frog or Fortune Frog, called "Chan Chu" in Chinese, is particularly conducive to good fortune and prosperity.
The Money Frog (actually a three-legged toad), is the traditional pet of the immortal "Liu Hai", who is the Chinese God of Wealth. The frog often holds a coin in its mouth and has a string of coins around his feet.
He should be placed facing a main entrance, or in the Northern, Career area or the Southeastern, Wealth area, to activate prosperity in your life. This also represents the flow of wealth, money and luck.
In a store, it should be near the cash register, facing the direction of the door.
A family of frogs living in your garden are said to bring good luck to your home and it's occupants.

- The Education Tower or the Pagoda Tower is said to possess certain powers which helps to transform unruly minds into well-disciplined minds.
It is good symbol for those who wish to achieve academic success. It is supposed to convert negative energy into positive energy. Hence, it is a good item to be placed near students. Place a pagoda in your classroom to increase concentration in studies and also to reduce boisterous behaviors. The education tower is a said to have the power to keep away anything that could distract the mind.
The best place to keep the education tower is the NorthEast corner. The education tower is considered to have yin energy and to be effective, it should be balanced by yang energy in the room, i.e. by having red color present in the room. The yang effect of the red color helps to awaken the chi of the education tower.
Good Luck!
