An educational, fun toy that grows with the child!, October 15, 2000

This review is from: Learning Resources Pretend and Play Calculator Cash Register (Toy)

We first bought this toy as a birthday gift, because our 4 year old was so fascinated with pushing the buttons to open the cash drawer. He liked the play coins that came with it, too.

Over the last 5 years, it has suited his needs as he’s grown. First it was a play-alone toy, fun for long stretches of time. Later, it evolved into part of a grocery store game played with friends. Over the last two years, it has been an educational tool for us to use, as he learns to add and subtract and make change, something he is also doing at school.

It comes with a credit card – we haven’t had to use it yet (not as much educational value for a credit card in this set up, since you can’t really explain the perils of interest rates)!

When friends come over, it is still a popular toy to pull out and play with. You can replace the coins (which seem to disappear) with less realistic, but inexpensive, coins you can find at any dollar store – or use real money!

An excellent toy that will grow with the child!

Super buy on an educational and entertaining product, December 10, 1998

This review is from: Learning Resources Pretend and Play Calculator Cash Register (Toy)

This item was used in my Sunday School classroom ages (4-7) earlier this year. Okay, so you are probably wondering in what application did I use this for in a Sunday School room? A: Matthew and Zacchaeus, the tax collectors.

Due to its popularity, I decided it was in my best interest to purchase a duplicate so that ten children would not be crowding around one register. The register was never not in use during the entire class time (1 hour and 15 minutes) except when I pulled them away for story time. Suffice it to say that it was a major hit.

It has been my experience that the special traits that make it a favorite with the children are: 1. Calculator features (the children who are familiar with numbers were thrilled that they could use it for real life addition and subtraction transactions). 2. Credit card that swipes through a slit in the register and note pad (these two items made the setting more “real life” as they are familiar with these adult items). 3. Size (this particular register is the largest available-unless you are willing to spring for a real one). END

The excellent reviews I read before buying this cash register did not mention that it is solar powered, and I believe this fact is worth adding for those frugally and/or environmentally-minded potential buyers. It worked right out of the box — no time delay for charging.
