You can make a simple cashier by drawing a dial on a sheet of paper, gluing a stack of paper for checks, but it will be much more interesting to play if you make a volumetric cash register for these little sellers with real buttons, a calculator and a roll of checks.

Necessary materials

Before making a cash register from paper, the master needs to prepare materials.

For work you will need:

• calculator (you can use a non-working one);
• box (larger than a calculator);
• a plastic bowl (for example, the bottom of the container);
• cardboard;
• toilet paper sleeve or cardboard roll;
• scissors, clerical knife;
• hot glue;
• paper;
• old coil ;;
• pencil or pen;
• felt-tip pens;
• Scotch.

When the necessary items are collected, we will consider in detail how to make a cash register from paper for money.

Work instruction

Having prepared the material, let's get started:

1. Display. Glue circles on both sides of the roll (toilet paper sleeve) to form a holistic figure. In the middle, along the roll we make an incision - here numbers will be shown, indicating the weight and cost of the product. 12 oval shapes are cut out of cardboard. On each of them write down the serial number.
2. Buttons of a cash register. We measure the dimensions of the calculator and mark on the box. Cut the corresponding hole. From below, using a tape, we fasten the calculator so that the buttons look out.
3. Money box. On the side of the box we make a cut and remove the bottom. From here a plastic container will leave as a cash drawer.
4. On the side we cut a window for the reel with paper. We string the coil on a pencil. We fix it with tape to the box on the inside. The coil should peek out at the same time. We cut strips of paper and wrap it on a spool. The edges of the paper peel over the top of the cash register. Thus, the seller will be able to issue a check to the buyer.
5. From the remnants of cardboard we cut out the buttons with which we fill and decorate the surface of the cash register.
6. To make a cash register for money, as in a store, colorful and interesting, it must be painted. We use bright felt-tip pens and paints. The main part can be covered with yellow paint, buttons - pink or red.
7. The painted parts are left to dry completely. After that, we proceed to the assembly of the trading machine. We fix with hot glue the display buttons.

The little seller will be enthusiastic about the new invention and the necessary equipment for a toy store. Do not even hesitate.
