Abstract
A motivational apparatus contains a supply of tokens. The apparatus includes a release mechanism for releasing one of the tokens, which may be actuated by a child as a reward for good behavior. After being released, the token is collected in a reservoir. The apparatus may include a token routing path with a variety of obstacles and the like for the amusement of the child. Once a predetermined number of tokens have been collected in the reservoir, the child may be awarded a prize. The prize may be dispensed by the apparatus in response to the collection of the predetermined number of tokens.
