Learning Resources Teaching Cash Register

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Sets
from: Learning Resources


This cash register has been great. It was originally a gift my daughter received but my 4 year old son uses it constantly. They play 'restaurant' and 'store' for hours, taking each others orders and asking, "is there anything I can help you with?" It is awesome, we all get to have fun with their pretend store. (I'm really glad I didn't eat all the stuff I have ordered from them over the years.)

This cash register is the catalyst for their little entrepreneurial ventures, they've sold everything from imaginary bunk beds in a furniture store, they've sold me my own car once, to starting a pet store with stuffed animals. They, and their friends, have all learned to be polite sales people and patient customers. All the while counting, ... Read More:

Melissa and Doug Food Groups

from: Melissa and Doug

June 12, 2006
I wanted good wooden pretend food (hate plastic toys) and I wanted a nice starter selection for a good price without having to buy, say, a separate veggie or fruit set. This is a basic food groups set so you get (4) little wooden crates filled with meats, veggies-n-fruits, dairy, and grains.

That said, after receiving the product, I can confirm that buying separate sets would have yielded superior pretend food, but would have quadrupled the investment. Besides, the kids love it and engage in all the rich, imaginative and independent play parents love to peripherally watch while reading the newspaper or something.

In summary,
Pros:
-All wood, nice all-in-one selection
-Kids like it a lot

Cons: ... Read More:

Bob the Builder - Deluxe Talking Tool Belt Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Sets
from: Learning Curve

June 12, 2006
We bought this for our son because he was interested in our tools when we would work on projects. After looking around, this looked like the ideal toy, and it's worked out great! The wrench and pliers actually open, the screwdriver works with the nails in the ruler. The belt sings and lights up. The reason I gave only 4 stars is that the hat is too big, and isn't lined. I've lined it myself, so it fits my son's head. Also the tool belt is a little loose when my son wears it...though he's on the thin side. My son will "fix" his toys, and can wear his tool belt for hours...it was a good purchase!

You get a lot of stuff in this set, and the tricks actually work! Pieces are quality made with wood, painted with engaging colorful imagery. A couple tricks are hard for my 6 year old, but all the tricks are fun for kids and grownups. Encourages hand-eye coordination.
