Classic Cash Register: When kids play with a cash register, they not only learn about money, they learn about math. And this machine registers big with us. We love the solar-powered calculator that works when keys are pushed, not to mention the hand scanner, the drawer that opens with a big "CHING!" and pop-up characters that appear when keys are pushed. Also includes play money.
