Pretend & Play Calculator Cash Register

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.

The best toy cash register!! So much fun to play with and very sturdy!

My children are learning about money, and I purchased this to continue to support their learning through play. So far we have played "pet shop" and "bakery." They are learning how to use a calculator, count money, and make change through this toy. I will mention that it doesn't come with all that much play money - but the brand sells a larger set of play money, which we did purchase to go with it. The only con for me is that the beeps get a little annoying, but of course the kids enjoy the sound.

Love this cash register. Had one with my kids. Bought this one for my grandson. Works well. He loves it. I actually used my kids years ago for my yard sale. Great product. You won't be sorry.

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!

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!

I use this in my 2nd grade classroom and my class loves this cash register. It’s very durable. It’s helping all students learn their coins, earn money, make change, and buy treasure box items (which I also purchased on Amazon). A lot of my students asked their parents to buy this for them! Highly recommend.

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.

A los niños les encanta jugar con ella porque es como una de verdad

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!
