We purchased this for our 3 and 1/2 year old, knowing it would get years and years of use. Right now, many of the features are above his pay grade, but he will learn as he grows. The money is fantastic, they made great efforts to make it look like the "real" stuff. I would give one warning, when you pop the open button, the tray (till) comes out a bit fast. Best to have your hand there to slow it down a bit.
