Today I'm going to tell you about the Zillionz Talking Cash Register. This is such a fun toy, but it has lots of learning potential, which I LOVE! It's an all in one design, so it's pretty compact. You can also change the language it speaks in from English to Spanish or French, and considering my son loves to watch DVDs in Spanish, you can guess what it's probably going to stay on in my house!
You can ring up purchases in a few different ways. First, you can touch the keypad to enter a price. The machine says each number as you enter it, and also announces keys such as "plus" or "total". Alternatively, the Talking Cash Register comes with bar code stickers and a working scanner. You place the stickers on your item, and simply scan the bar code with the attached scanner.
When paying, you can use the included debit card and simply swipe it. Or you can pay with the included play money, and open the working cash drawer. 
There is also a built in microphone, for any price checks your little shoppers may need. Admittedly, the microphone isn't very loud and you can barely hear it...but that's not exactly a bad thing, right parents? *wink*Here is a quick video demonstrating all the features of the Zillionz Talking Cash Register.

I really appreciate that this one item will not only serve as a fun toy, but also as a great learning tool. I can easily see us adding it to our math games when we play store, or our lessons on money. The only potential negative I can say about this toy is that at first our cash drawer would not open. We tried and tried and finally decided it must be broken. A few nights later we brought it out, planning to break it just so the kids could use it...and before we broke it we tried one more time..and it worked! Totally bizarre, but we've not had any further problems with it after that first night. So I would just suggest you take it out of the box and try the cash drawer before wrapping it up...just in case!
The Zillionz Talking Cash Register is suggested for ages five and up, and retails for approximately $39.99. The best online deal I could find as of December 15 is on Amazon. They have it listed for $36.75 with free Super Saver Shipping (will arrive by December 24).
Keeping it real: We received the Zillionz Talking Cash Register for review purposes as members of Team Mom. All opinions are my own.
