'Shopping' role play opens children up to a huge range of skills, from counting money to sorting objects, interacting socially and possibly even learning to queue. The 'backdrop' shop can be altered quite easily using the children's own artwork and you can add the accessories without too much expense. The 'My Home' range from Toys 'R' Us includes an Electronic Cash Register with an integral calculator and check out belt. Credit cards are received with a pop up sign and a scanner that beeps and flashes and the till drawer has a lock and key. A selection of accessories is included.
