Click & Collect or 24hr Dispatch*
Pretend Play
by Hape
A familiar shop visit becomes a pretend checkout game they can run themselves.
Some days your little one is the shopkeeper, carefully deciding what everything costs. Other days they are the customer, arriving with a very important purchase to make. Without anyone really setting it up, the cash register can become the point everyone recognises: this is where the buying happens, this is where the card is used, and this is where the game starts again tomorrow.
Our in-stock products are usually dispatched from Melbourne within 24–48 hours. During peak and sale periods, dispatch and transit times may be longer.

Product overview
The weekly shop has a way of coming home in little pieces of play. At first, your child may copy the checkout words they have heard before. Soon the Beep 'n' Buy Cash Register becomes the place where the pretend shop begins: something is chosen, a price is decided, and the bank card has its turn. Before long, the same routine keeps coming back with new orders, new prices and a very proud person in charge of the till.
Product details
That simple loop is where the value sits. Your little one can come back to the same pretend shop idea again and again, without needing lots of extra pieces to understand what to do.
It keeps the play from feeling finished after one turn. The checkout routine gives structure, while your child decides how the shop runs.
It helps the play resolve in a way children recognise from family shopping trips.
