Bought this cash register in 2009 for my granddaughter.  She's 6 now & still playing w/ this & I'm sure will continue to do so for quite some time.  I love that this is a toy that is not only fun but educational as well.  It teaches children to understand different denominations of paper money as well as coins, counting, making change, hand-eye coordination, role play, etc. We've used this cash register to play Grocery store, Xmas shopping at the Mall, Pet shop, & on & on.  This is a toy that will provide yrs of fun, yet educational, play value for your child.
