💗 “The Toy That Turned Playtime Into Real Learning”
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.

Fun and durable
Good quality cash register! Very realistic. The money drawer works well. The key buttons make noise . I bought this for my grandchildren. 3 year old and 8 year old. They love playing grocery store with this. I thought it would help with learning to count money. My other 3 grandchildren also have one.

Wonderful for kids
My daughter loves this cash register!! She got a new kitchen set and loves to pretend like she is taking orders at a restaurant and using the cash register for change and stuff. Plus it teaches her how to count money. It’s average sized for a toddler, she’s 5 so she thinks it’s the coolest thing!

Great toy, but can't sort the bills
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.

Best play cash register for kids
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!

great educational toy
We got this 9 years ago and have used it across all of our children. They have used it to learn about money, they have used it to pretend their room are stores and we go to visit and pay them for their products, and of course they learn how to give change back. Good learning and fun toy.

Easy to work
Fun and kids love it. Easy to work
C**!
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.

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!
