Pretend Checkbook
Like the real deal. what a neat concept. Wish it was available when I was a kid (am I showing my age). It is a must have

Opinion of Learning Resources Pretend & Play Checkbook w/calculator
My daughter who is almost 5 yrs old was so excited to receive her own checkbook! She watches me when I pay bills and asks for checks so she can "pay bills" too. I used to give her deposit slips to use as her checks but she was much more excited to receive her own check book with cover and register. She enjoys playing make-believe and it helps when the toys are more realistic. I only wish that it included more checks because these won't last too long.

Great way to help children understand money.
I got this for my oldest three children ages 11, 8, and 7 as a gift from Santa along with an opening "balance". The children loved the idea of having to write checks and now when they want something they can write their "bankers"(aka Mom and Dad) a check and we will buy it. So they are learning that once it's spent its gone, so are trying to decide should they save or spend. Since they have no actual money its not burning holes in pockets or getting lost. They are actually thinking about diffrent things and when we say get your check book the re-think the decision about wheather they really want it or not. I'm hoping it not only keeps them from "borrowing" from one another but make sure they really want what they buy, so it's not stuck in the toy chest within the week.
Would have given more stars but it's to early to tell how this will work in the long run.
