Learning Resources Pretend & Play Calculator Register Toy - Kids Play Set & Credit Card Toy, Register for Kids, Pretend Grocery Store Shopping Playset for Toddlers, Teaching Math Set

Fun toy and teaching took for my 7 year old!

I’m a mom of two girls, and like many moms, I’m always looking for toys that don’t just entertain them but also help them learn naturally. This pink Learning Resources cash register has been one of those rare finds that truly makes a difference. My daughters loved it from the moment they opened it. The “cha-ching” sound when the drawer pops open is their favorite part, and I love watching them use it to pretend they’re running a store, a café, or a little market at home. What I appreciate most is that while they’re playing, they’re actually practicing basic math, counting, simple addition, and money skills—without me having to force the learning. The set comes with 73 pieces, including life-size play bills, plastic coins, a pretend credit card, and an activity guide. This gives them tons of possibilities to create different scenarios and keeps them engaged for long periods of time. And since the calculator runs on solar power, I don’t have to deal with batteries at all. Over time, I noticed my girls started understanding the concept of money better, recognizing amounts, taking turns being the “cashier” or the “customer,” and even creating their own little systems—something that helps both their imagination and their social skills. If you’re looking for a toy that truly supports your child’s mental development while keeping playtime fun and meaningful, this cash register is a wonderful choice. In our home, it has become an essential tool for playful learning.

I wish I knew this earlier. My neighbor told me this is the best thing she ever bought for her grandkids. So, I bought it for my grandkids. Old school register but they learn how to use money and changes. It’s fun to teach a math this way rather than flash cards.

Such a great toy! My kids love playing shop with this. I love the quality and the fact that you can replace the paper pad with regular post-its. Minus one star because it does drive me crazy that there are only three slots for the paper money, when you actually need four. While it doesn't bother my kids as much, I do think it would be a better learning tool with that level of organization. Would still recommend though. Ours has held up for years and I bought a second one for my niece and nephew last Christmas.

Great durable toy. My 6-year-old loves her cash register. It's the perfect size. She's able to take it on road trips. Not noisy. Age appropriate.

A mom blogger on Instagram said this specific cash register was the best one for kids, and so I got it for my 4 year old niece. I agree with her - it is sturdy, the money looks very alike to real money instead of playbucks, the coins especially are impressive and have the same texture as real coins (such as dimes having ridged edges), and the credit card makes a little ding sound when run through the slot. It's lightweight to carry and comes with a note pad which helps with writing "receipts" to practice numbers, and the register is a functioning calculator. Highly recommend!

This is a toy that I have purchased for our kids and then for their kids in recent years. It is a fun play toy, but also quite educational, whether the kids know it or not! Also, we used to use it when we had garage sales to add things up and to store our cash!

This came out of package ready to use. Solar was already activated, just pulled the plastic tab out of the battery area on the bottom of the register to activate the sound. I’ve had this sitting in the dining area which receives daylight only, no direct sun and the solar has been working fine although the numbers are not as bright as I was expecting. I can see them but a back light would be nice. Each number is about 1 / 2 inch tall and 1 / 4 inch wide. When it is left on for about 6 minutes or so with no use it shuts off automatically. This is VERY light weight. It needs to be placed against a wall otherwise it slides when the drawer is being pushed closed. When it is not against a wall, when I push to close it, the drawer stops about 1 /4 inch away from the base of the register. I have to hold the sides and push it again, sometimes twice to get it to close completely. This doesn’t happen when it is against the wall. I agree with the other reviews about the drawer opening fast. You do need to put your hand in front of the drawer cause the coins will fly out each and every time if you don’t. The card swipe beeb sound also works when you use a gift card or other type of debit / credit card. The calculator displays 4 digits when the last number ends in something other than zero. If it ends in zero it only displays 3 digits. $3.50 shows as $3.5. When the last two digits end in zero then both zeros drop, $3.00 shows as $3. This is a Christmas gift for a 2 year old and almost 5 year old, just wanted to try it out to make sure it worked.

This pretend play calculatior is overall a good quality product. However, one must note that the colour is not the bright red and blue as seen in the picture. Its is infact dull maroon and dull deep blue, which was a put off for my daughter. Also, when the 'open' button is pressed, the drawer opens with a jerk, that some coins simply jump and fall out of the drawer each time.

I love this cash register machine - The sound and the design is really like the old-school cash registers that they have eons ago. I like it that it has the calculator function which makes it educational (Note: the parent/teacher has to design learning experiences to maximise this function). The only downside is that the cash drawer pops out really abruptly and forcefully, often throwing out the coins with it. The children have learned how to mitigate the situation by putting their hands over the drawer before hitting the "open" button. The "cash" is in American Dollars. So you will probably have to improvise if you would like to use the currency of your country.

Bought this for my granddaughter's bakery shop. She is so proud to swap her "baked goods" for money and ring the purchase up on the register. Love how the bell rings as the drawer is opened. Number buttons are large enough for chubby toddler fingers to use easily, and the working calculator is a learning tool for older children. Only downside was I had to hunt out toy money which was relevant to us as the supplied cash was in US currency.

Lo bueno: Excelente calidad de plástico. Bonitos colores que lo hacen lucir estupendo. Muy funcional y educativo, mis muchachos está aprendiendo números y operaciones básicas, y he usado esta caja registradora para ayudarlos en ese proceso de manera lúdica. El precio, cuando yo lo compré, fue en oferta: 340.00 pesos Mexicanos, lo cual es un gran precio-calidad. Lo malo: La sección de los billetes se expulsa de manera un tanto violenta, es cuestión de acostumbrarse a ello. Aunque, suponemos que eso es por que el resorte puede ser funcional por mucho tiempo. Las divisas de juguete son en dólares americanos, así que tuve que comprar simulaciones de billetes en pesos Mexicanos, pero le quedaron muy bien. Recomiendo ampliamente a este producto, lo compré en marzo del 2019, y hoy (26 de septiembre del 2020) está en perfectas condiciones a pesar del uso rudo de mis dos muchachitos.

I had to replace the older play cash register for my grandkids as it did not work anymore. I chose this one for the high reviews and I was happy it was worth the purchase. The register is big and sturdy. It is very well made and the drawer opens consistently. This one comes with USD currency too!
