Ok..my little 2 year old loves Dora..now, with holiday season approaching, these commercials are really pumping out all the new toys and stuff. A commercial came on tonight for a Dora cash register. It has fake credit cards to purchase items. I love my little one and would love to get this for her, but (I know she is a little young but I hope people get the jist of what I am saying) should'nt we as parents teach them better responsability, as paying with cash and not relying on credit??

but what about the future when cash is gone :'(

You should learn your kids to handle fake credit cards as soon as possible imo.

True. They also have to appreciate cold, hard cash.

She'll need to have credit if she wants to purchase a house and what not.
And it's just a toy. I played with cap guns and I never climbed a bell tower and took out people.

I get you.
To me it seems like an educational toy that will teach about something that occurs in real life.
I see your point, though. It teaches them to spend $$ they don’t have.
While teaching about borrowing, they should also include something that teaches the importance of paying one’s debts – maybe like a big guy named Vito who comes and breaks your legs if you miss a payment.

Just one driveby and nobody died.
I hope.

I tend to agree with what has been written before on this subject. As long as you teach your daughter responsibility and not let her get too attached to the idea of spending money she doesn't have, I'm sure this toy will be a lot of fun for her - even educational.
