Incogneato, I think you have a carbon copy of my kids. Webkinz are a great motivator.

My kids' piano teacher recommended using a candle for practice incentive, which the girls love. Each girl has a taper candle which burns while she practices. Each spent candle is worth roughly $5 towards a Webkinz product. With one candle they can buy something like trading cards (for those who need immediate gratification) or they can save up to buy a Webkinz animal.

About how long does it take a taper candle to burn? An hour, 4 hours, 10 hours? I might try this with mine and give him a Dollar Store gift card.
