Description
This wooden shopping money playset turns any table into a shop counter, built around a bright red pretend card machine. The machine is made from wood and synthetic rubber. It has pale pink number buttons from 0 to 9, a green and a pink function key, a window printed with a hand tapping a card, and a slot along the top where a card stands to pay. Three wooden cards come with it: a red SUPA payment card with a contactless symbol, a mint Driving Licence card with a yellow car, and a pink Lion's Gym card with a friendly lion. Altogether the set measures 20.5cm long, 16.3cm wide and 4.2cm high, and weighs 143g.
The money side of the game is just as cheerful. Chunky wooden coins are printed 2, 5 and 10 in soft pink, yellow and mint. The paper notes come in pastel pink, blue and green with a white unicorn and big numbers. Paper receipts printed with apples, oranges, a banana and tins, each with its own tick boxes, finish the scene. It is a toy made for playing shops: one player rings up the shopping and taps in the total, while another counts out coins and notes or holds the card up to pay. The numbered pieces give plenty to count and swap, and the gym and licence cards bring a little extra story to the game. It sits happily on a play table, a kitchen table or a playroom floor.
We like that the card machine, cards and coins are wood: they feel solid in the hand, while the notes and receipts are paper. Wipe the wooden pieces with a soft dry or barely damp cloth, and keep the paper pieces dry and flat so they stay crisp. It all tidies back into its printed box between games, which also makes it a cheerful gift to wrap.
