Cash Register
The Pretend and Play® Calculator Cash Register encourages
children to learn basic math and calculator skills while it enhances
imaginary play. This unique educational toy features a working
calculator that will familiarize children, from pre-school age up, with
the use of a calculator while they play. The large buttons on the
keypad are easy for little hands to press and the cash draw is
large enough to hold life-size bill and coins.
Children will naturally learn to add and subtract when they use the
Calculator Cash Register for pretend and play, selling products in
their ”store”, ringing up purchases and making change.

whole dollar amounts for younger children and larger
denominations for older children.) Encourage children to take
turns being customers, salespeople, or the check-out person.
To Play:
Create a train station! Use the map to decide where your railroad
will go. Plot the route for the imaginary train and make tickets with
prices based upon destinations!
Measure children’s feet with a ruler. You may want to make a chart
to record foot size. The fit of the shoes is not as important as the
opportunities for language enrichment and number reinforcement.
”Those shoes are too big!” ”I think these shoes are too small for
you, but they might fit your baby sister.” Children will appreciate
your humor as you try to wear a pair of shoes that is obviously too
small or too large. Help the check-out person ring up the amount
owed and make change.
Decide who will be passengers, who will be the ticket seller, the
conductor, and the engineer. Children may want to have
attendants who pass out snacks or magazines. Let their
imaginations make up the play. The ticket seller, attendants and
vendors are responsible for collecting money and making change.
The conductor gets the important job of calling out “All Aboard!”
The more children are involved in planning their journey, the more
fun it will be!
