Little J absolutely loves playing shop and cafe. Out of all the role play activities he has they are his two favourites. He has always loved numbers so anything that involves numbers of any sort is always a winner. When we were sent the Casdon Minimarket Till to review I knew he would love it as soon as I read it has a built in calculator.
Set up was easy and we were ready to play within minutes. Obviously little J wanted to be shopkeeper so I was the customer. The minimarket till is very different to the standard till he has, as it has realistic food and a place to store it.
Little J kindly gave me some money out of the till so I could do my shopping. Once I had decided what to buy he pressed the buttons on the till to add up how much I had spent.
As I said earlier there is a calculator on the till so perfect getting little ones used to recognising numbers.
Little J didn't want to give up the role of shopkeeper so I was the customer for quite a while. He kept replenishing the shelves after I had finished my shopping. The food that comes with the mini market till is great, looks just like the real thing, the profiteroles look delicious.
The button to open the till is easy to use which is great as little J had a till in the past that was impossible to open. All you need to do is press down and the drawer for the money pops open.
