coin sorter for kids

Mumstheword

hi all,

my kids love playing with money, and i've seen some coin sorters recently that they'd love to play with.

they are a bit expensive though, and i wondered if anyone had any ideas for something like this, maybe with other coin-play features? looking for xmas ideas!

got middle son a toy one armed bandit for his birthday, and they (and everyone else who comes round!) have had loads of fun with it.

thanks,

Have you had a look in the pound shops they may have something that fits the bill.

Good luck & Happy Xmas ;D

that's not a bad idea at all, they always have that kind of 'tat'  ;D don't they...and cheap enough to get them one each (got 3 boys).

do you have a way of seeing new posts on all boards at once rushnowt, or is it just a coincidence that you're following me round today with good advice? ;D ; ;D

thanks for that!

Brill. I'll look it up on the net now! They need bank accounts too anyway (birthday money, richer than me lol!)

Now, could i bring meself to pass em off as crimbo pressies......

clairy-fairy

of course!

i opened bank accounts for my kids as a stocking filler and they got all the extras too.

if i remember the stuff comes in a PE/swim bag.

Not really money saving but in the Index catalogue they have a battery operated coin sorter for £19.99
