These toys are wonderful for role play. A young girl can be encouraged to act out real life play and therefore become confident of themselves when in a store.
Acting out the role of the customer or shop assistant helps a child gain knowledge of the world outside their own home and gives them the confidence to deal with shopping in real life.
These cash register toys for girls develop mathematical skills as your child exchanges money for goods.
They help a child with communication as it teaches them the appropriate language to use when in a shopping environment.
A younger toddler will enjoy pressing the buttons and scanning the items and being rewarded with a ‘beep’ noise.
An older toddler can be helped to extend their learning further by using accessories such as a basket, shopping cart, grocery bags and dressing up to go to the mall using handbags and purses to store their money.
What to look for
- As usual, check for small parts that can be broken off. Any money included should have no sharp edges and should not be small enough to be swallowed.
Safety Warning
Warning – Choking Hazard
These cash register toys for girls are not really suitable for girls under 3 years old. There may be small parts.
Watch that fingers don’t get trapped in the till drawers.
Sometimes the cash drawers can get stuck, so a grown up needs to be enlisted to open it.
- The register should be made of a strong durable material as the buttons and draw will get plenty of use.
- Check that the till is age related. Some cash registers are more geared towards children who can read.
The story of the Cash Register and the Pony House
The inventor of the first working version of a mechanical cash register was James Jacob Ritty of Dayton, Ohio. Ritty was a bar keeper who owned his own saloon, The Pony House.
One of the biggest problems Ritty had in his bar was that some of his employees were dishonest. Rather than depositing the customer’s money they would pocket it and keep it for themselves.
Ritty got tired of this behaviour. In 1878 while on a steamship to Europe, he came up with an idea for a possible solution to the problem,. …. a cash register.
After some trial and error his third design was a success and became the prototype for the cash registers we use today.

Play Idea
Come along and play shop with me.
Why not get all the tins and packets out of the cupboard and play grocery store. Lay out the goods around your “store”.
With a pen and paper and help your youngster make a list of all the things to buy. You may need to cut out pictures or draw the items on her list. Check that your little girl understands what the listed items are.
She can maybe use a pram as her shopping trolley as she travels around the store trying to find everything she needs.
At the check out she can scan the tins one by one and pretend to exchange money and pack the items in the grocery bag.
She will need a grocery bag to put all her grocery in and take it home. Encourage your child to take turns.
Use appropriate language to reinforce leaning as you play by highlighting the numbers etc.
Alternatively she can transform her till into a post office. Get together old letters, stamps, cards, envelopes etc. Lay them out on the counter and wait for your customers to turn up.
Make your own mail box out of a shoe box or similar. Letters to her dolls and plush toys have then to be sorted and delivered to them.
Cash register toys for girls open up a whole world of imaginative play. Next please.
