Educational Insights Play Money - Coins & Bills Tray

I used this product for adults with aphasia and this was an excellent/realistic tool to use during my therapy sessions. So, i would say this is not an item that is limited to young learners. The age ranged is characterized as for ages 5 and up- this is truer than you'd think! the coins are realistically reproduced so that it is very helpful for generalizing into real life situations, such as buying and paying for items with cash independently.

The most realistic play money available. Includes 30 pennies, 30 nickels, 20 dimes, 15 quarters, 5 half dollars, 30 $1 bills, 20 $5 bills, 20 $10 bills, 15 $20 bills, 10 $50 bills, and 5 $100 bills in a storage tray. Ages 5+/grades k+

These bills are almost identical to real us dollars except they are smaller. Sometimes my son leaves them around so when i walk by i have to double-take to ensure there is not actually real money on the floor. When people visit my home they look at me weirdly because they aren't sure why i have bills randomly on my kids' art table. . Unfortunately, these coins are not recognized by my son's learning resources teaching cash register. The coins fit into the slots fine but the monetary denominations are recognized and verbalized incorrectly. For instance, when you place a quarter inside it tells the child it is a nickle. . Other than that, this money is great! i mostly love it because it teaches how to count money with tools that really look like money. I feel this is far better than teaching with colorful monopoly type money which can be confusing or real money which is dirty. -Notice from L. Cassella, Milton Keynes

Actually looks just like real money! everything, front and back! so much better than expected! size is a but smaller than real but the look is exact! coins look exact too but are very lightweight and plastic. Bills are printed on heavy paper, nothing like the cheap monopoly-printer paper money, this is much better quality. Definitely recommend!

- Z. BealeThis set comes with $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills. The coins include pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, 50 cent pieces. There are many different sets out there with different amounts of bills and coins, depending on your need. This set contains just enough for my daughter and i to effectively play "store". It will easily support four people's "wallets" with enough left over for change. . This play money is some of the most realistic play money i have seen. It really looks like real us currency, which has helped me "play store" with my daughter and teach her how to count money and make change. It is slightly smaller than real us dollars and change, but because the look is so real, she is easily able to make the transition between real and play money. The paper used on the bills is thick, making it sturdier than other play money sets i have seen. It is even thicker than money that comes with some board games. I highly recommend it for any parent looking for play money to teach their kids about real us currency. . The tray that comes with it is not useful if you want to keep all the bills and coins separate. You will need a separate container because all of the bills stack on top of each other. It also stacks pretty high and full and does not come with a cover, so you can't use the tray to store the money unless you put it somewhere where it won't get knocked over or jostled. It is also thin plastic, and not very sturdy. . I bought the money with a printer calculator and some carbon-copy receipt pads (all available through online store. Com) so we can play "store". This whole "play set" was cheaper than a toy cash register and my daughter can really add up totals and figure out tax, as well as practice her writing skills by using the receipt pad. Just an idea for any parents out there whose kids like to play store as much as mine!

I love this pack! i use it for so many things with my 2. 5 yr old. We play "shop for groceries" using only $1 bills and pennies for now. We are basically learning counting and along with that, she is starting to understand the value of currency. . I also use this as a way reward system for potty training. We made a little home-made piggy bank where she collects her pennies for every time she uses the toilet. As she reaches a certain amount of savings, i give her the option to buy 2 tiny m&ms for 5 pennies. I know i'm totally ripping her off, but hey she gets chocolate and learn to save money for something she wants!

Melissa & Doug Wooden Grocery Store Lemonade Stand - Reversible Awning, 9 Bins, Chalkboards

Great item! i bought this as a christmas gift for my daughters two years ago, and it still gets plenty of use. I do not use the chalk boards to label the bins for several reasons. 1) i bought a cheap bag of assorted plastic fruit and vegetables to put in the bins, so each bin has an assortment of items instead of only one. 2) with little hands going in and out to get and replace "groceries, " the plaques would often get knocked off. 3) i don't like the chalk dust in the bins and on all of the toys. . Instead of using the chalk signs, i turned the bins around so that the little hook area faces the back. I also bought a cute little cash register that sits on top so that my girls can play grocery more realistically. . *just a tip. My daughters love for their play to be realistic, so i did buy a set of paper money and plastic coins; however, i used packing tape to encase the bills (i don't have a laminator, and this worked just as well. Maybe better because it makes the bills more pliable. ) i also bought a set of 12 little cloth tote bags so that they can bag their groceries. They love these additions :-)

Whatever the season or weather, this wooden play center has the shop for you. You can decide whether to run a store or sell lemonade today! featuring portable plastic bins for pretend shopping or storage, removable chalkboard signs, a spacious countertop and a reversible fabric awning.

This is a sturdy and durable product and it's very cute! . . My son put it together for my grandchildren in about an hour. It's easy to assemble and the pieces are extremely sturdy. I love the duality of it - the grocery store and lemonade stand - and so do my grandkids; they play with it every day. . The buckets hold a lot of play food and the height is perfect for my three year old and 8 year old grandkids. Any child can play with it and mine do! . . Just a well made product that will stand up to kids playing with it constantly. It also brings out their imagination and i love it for that alone! -Notice from R. Olga, Staffordshire

I wasn't sure if it would be big enough but after i put it together it was 51" tall - just perfect for my 5 and 7 year old. It is made very sturdy and durable and high quality! it is worth the money! they have been using it outside to sell lemonade and everyone loves this!

- W. CortneyBought this as a gift for my niece (2) and nephew (4). We were able to put this together in under an hour, very easy instructions. As a teacher i am always looking for gifts which allow children to use their imagination without everything having to be interactive (i. E. No sounds/lights/etc. ). I was thrilled with the overall quality of this toy. It was very solidly built. We did add a layer of clear self paper to the top just to give it an another layer of waterproofing. This was by far their favorite gift for christmas (which is saying a lot as they received a lot of interactive toys and this beat them out hands down! ). The baskets are great for not only playtime but also for storing toys when not in use. Even though some of the features like the chalkboards won't be used as much now, i know they will grow into this toy for years to come! i highly recommend anything melissa and doug. We have bought their toys for a few years now and they have always been excellent.

This store is a great purchase & it has exceeded all expectations. It is very colorful, extremely sturdy & the kids love it! you have to put it together but the directions are some of the best i have ever used. They are easy to understand & lots of clear illustrations are included. It doesn't come with play groceries but you can get those pretty cheap on online store. Melissa & doug also makes a great grocery cart that pairs nicely with this item. Great holiday or birthday gift!

These nice wooden play food will still be around when my grandchildren have children. They are so neat that i couldn't wait to give it to them for christmas.

You really can't go too far wrong with melissa & doug. We got these to go with a play kitchen for our kids, and they are so much fun! the kids love how realistic everything looks (especially the box of cheese crackers and the bottle of ketchup), and i really love how sturdy they are. It's nice to find toys that are actually built to last. After a year of use, the only wear they show is on the bottles of ketchup and salad dressing, where my daughter has chewed on them and the paint has come off a little bit. But considering the daily use these toys get at our house, it's amazing they still look as good as they do. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially if you have younger kids who are not always careful with toys. -Notice from Y. Evelyn, Montana

The melissa and doug pantry pack is a great addition to any kid's pretend play. It is durable as it is made of wood. These will last much longer than the pretend cardboard boxes. The only complaint i have with this item is that in the online store picture and description it shows to have a "hard pretzel" box in the set. I have received the product twice from online store and both times received a pantry pack that has salad dressing instead of hard pretzels. Normally this wouldn't be as big of a deal, but my family ordered this product expecially for the hard pretzels. My son couldn't stop talking about the pretend food with the hard pretzels. So buyers beware that the hard pretzel box might be a thing of the past, and that the new packaging has salad dressing instead.

- N. JulianaMy 24 month old is crazy for this set, along with the companion wooden fridge foods! she plays with them throughout the day, with or without her kidkraft kitchen. She seems to appreciate the heft of the wooden parts and enjoys leaning the names of the products as she pretends to cook and eat them. She's also packed them along in her purse or backpack on outings, entertained to have them handy on the to. Hands down, these sturdy toys are the best play kitchen accessory investment we've made - with the melissa & doug wash and dry dish finishing in a close second. Buy both and get ready to partake in many a "picnic" on the floor as your kiddo is happily entertained . . . No batteries, flashing lights or catchy songs required :)

Our set didn't come with the pretzels. We got a yellow bottle of salad dressing instead. No big deal for us. The paint/chemical smell was definitely obvious to me, which is never the case with plan toys items. I can smell them when i walk into my daughter's room. That said, i *am* six months pregnant, so maybe i have an increased sense of smell. We'll see if my husband notices when he gets home! . . The m&d pantry set is pretty good, all things considered, compared to plastic play sets, and the price is less than plan toys. M&d items have more writing on them than plan toys, which are more abstract (if you are looking for something other than english language, plan toys is the way to go, example the m&d ketchup says "tomato ketchup" on it, whereas the plan toys ketchup has a simple, abstract drawing of two tomatoes. ). . The m&d paint is painted on, versus plan toys which is more of a stain in the wood. The m&d stuff is definitely going to chip over time, but for right now, for a few short years, it's a good set for us.
