Learning Resources Teaching ATM Bank, Pink - Toddler Educational Toy for Money Skills, Ages 3+

My 3 year old always wants to play with the credit card swipe at the grocery store and my credit cards. He also loves playing with real money. As soon as I saw this, I knew it was the perfect toy for him. He plays with it for long stretches and like the fact that he can play with it independently or we can play with it together. This is a well made, high quality toy, and I really appreciate that the noises it makes are not at all obnoxious. The play money and ATM card are also great quality. This is a toy that I know my son can play with for years to come and it has such relevant educational value since it teaches kids about math in the real world.

I received this product as part of an incentive review program. My children couldn't wait to get started as soon as they saw the package in my car. The packaging was sturdy and pleasing to the eye. I was thrilled with how well made the ATM was constructed. It stood up to the rough and tough play of my very busy and not so gentle 18 month old son. The instructions were clear and made it easy for us to get started playing right away. I loved that it gave us suggested learning activities to help enhance our play time. Both of my children couldn't get enough of this product. There were literal tears shed when their turn was over. I am always looking for educational toys that are fun as well as teach a skill or a concept. This ATM was versatile in many ways. My 4 year old was learning and practicing the coins and their value while my 18 month old was using his fine motor skills to put the coins into the slot. We spent hours role playing and incorporating the ATM into our creative play. I will definitely recommend this product to all of my friends with children of all ages!

This new engaging toy is a great way for children to learn how to count money. This toy is also cutting edge just like the real ATM machines. This ATM does come with its own bills and coins. I found that the ATM caught my attention when the machine started saying each coin individually and listed their value on the screen. This is a great hands-on learning toy and will help children with teaching/counting/ addition/subtraction. A fun educational toy!

My 2 year old received 3 toys from Learning Resources and this was the first one he picked to play with of the 3 and keeps going back to it time and time again. The packaging is helpful since you do not need tools to take the product out of the box. The life-size money is VERY realistic (easy to mistake for real at a glance) which allows the kids to start recognizing Presidents on each bill. The ability to roll the bills in either "hamburger" or "hotdog" style let's little ones work on their motor skills as well as their patience. Double win! The discussions around withdrawals, deposits, saving, counting, math skills have already begun and I only imagine they will continue as he gets older. Once I put batteries in, he put it on the floor, laid down and played with it for almost an hour straight...and then went back again later in the evening! If I had to make any recommendations/changes it would be to add a little handle at the top so the little kids can carry it around easier than hugging it to their body. Other than that, slam-dunk!

My 6-year old nephew LOVES this and it's allowed my family to discuss important topics like saving money, who's on money, and how to keep track of pin numbers! (He keeps forgetting his) Plus the ATM can count REAL change! So we've started giving him a small allowance, which he dutifully puts into his ATM. However the biggest downfall by far is that the machine can't count bills, so my nephew keep putting in that he has hundreds of dollars (which is actually super funny). Additionally, he likes to use it as a cash register to buy things, but I'm not complaining since he's counting out the money! Overall it works well for introducing kids to the concept of money and it works well as a bank. I really like how it combines saving money with counting it out yourself.

My daughter is using this as a savings bank, since it works with real bills and coins. She really likes pressing the buttons and entering her "pin" number, which we were able to customize just for her. The included ATM card is a nice addition, and it helps her roleplay and imagine that she's taking money out to go shopping. This is a great toy.

I gave this to my 5 year old niece. She loved playing with it. She pretended it was a cash register, she didn't know what an ATM is. The one downside is that when you "deposit" the dollars it doesn't add it to your total like it does for the coins.

I found this ATM machine & money to be highly engaging right from the get-go for my grandsons ages 6 and 4. To be able to use some of the features, it does require that an adult or older child read the directions for the younger ones to get them started (i.e. explaining a PIN and how to enter the default or set your own; how to enter the ATM card, etc). The bills and coins that come with the ATM machine are very realistic - I even got fooled once when I saw a bill on my kitchen counter; had to look twice to determine whether it was real or not. This ATM machine is one that can grow with the child. It can just be a fun experience for the younger child just putting the money in and out, inserting the ATM card, hearing the coins register, etc. As the child matures, though, a lot of authentic math can be completed with counting the money and making "purchases". As mentioned in other reviews, the ATM machine only tracks the coins; bills must be computed by hand - which is where the real math comes in. I would recommend this ATM for use in a home or school setting.

this product was for a 4 year old. we like how it will auto add the coins that are put in however for any bills that you put in you need to add it to your amount yourself, and for the younger children they do not know how to do this yet. with that being said, they can keep it for when they are learning math and use I then.

Cute idea, my daughter loved it! however, it broke within an hour of playing with it. Terrible quality :(
