Editorial Review :
Ring up the fun with the Teaching Cash Register! A perfect addition to any pretend store, this talking cash register helps teach basic math and money skills through creative play. Filled with engaging activities and a drawer stashed with life-size (make-believe) cash, the Teaching Cash Register helps kids make sense of currency with a coin reader that identifies both real and plastic coins. Other features include a generous LCD screen that shows transaction values in large, easy-to-read numbers, a working scale, and a scanner for pretend coupons and credit cards. Four interactive learning games take kids through multiple levels of play, increasing in difficulty as players advance their math skill levels. Large buttons help little fingers total up the orders, while lights and sounds capture the imagination. Winner of numerous awards, including an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award, the interactive Teaching Cash Register develops logic, reasoning, and coin recognition skills, and helps animate lessons about addition, subtraction, counting money, making change, and decimal usage. Measuring approximately 14 by 9-3/4 by 9 inches, the Teaching Cash Register requires 3 C batteries (not included) to power its playful "ka-ching!" --Heather Lyndon

Rating : - Awesome toy!
I really searched for the best cash register and while this one was a bit more money it was so worth all the wait. My 3 1/2 year old Son loves it and we all have so much fun shopping with items in the house. Best features that others don't have:
*You can use real money in the coin counter bank.
*Several money games that teach. Covers all ages,always something to grow into.
*Contains a real calculator so you can actually use it for a lemonade stand or a garage sale.
*You don't have to buy special products to shop with or use special stickers to make it scan. It will scan anything.
*It has an awesome coupon and credit card. Kids see us use ours all the time so of couse they want an ATM card as well.
BUY IT BIY IT BUY IT! You won't be sorry!
