Great toy for toddlers.
We bought this game for our 2 1/2 year old. We weren't sure how she would do with it, but we were pleasantly surprised. She already knows how to count to 20, but this made counting fun for her because she was picking up and counting into the bucket or back onto the tree. The arrow is very easy for little hands to spin. The cherries have a long stem so it is easy for their little fingers to grasp. She did not become frustrated with this game at all. In fact, we have played it 6 times today. This is amazing, since she doesn't usually sit still for more than 2 minutes at a time. Very highly recommended game.

Fun, educational ... a winner
We started playing this when my son was four and it's been great. There are enough rules to keep it interesting and there's lots of counting involved, so it's helped with numbers. Games are usually pretty quick, so you can play several in short order (and everyone usually wins - another bonus). Good pace, lots of fun!

The same game I grew up with
Although the pictures are a little bit updated, this is basically the same game I grew up with and loved. I bought it for my niece and it took her no time at all to learn to play it. IT's easy to play and can be as educational as you make it.

I look for toys that are fairly quiet, easy to play and fun. I also look for toys that can grow with the child and if they are educational then that is a boost.

Games are a lot of fun. Children seem to love mastering them. I think they also offer good lessons in taking turns, winning with grace, and losing with grace. (all life skills we need right?)
This game can be made more educational with some parental input- three cheries minus/take away two leaves how many? two plus three cheries equals what? Let's count them together... etc.

Although my son didn't quiet grasp the concept of the numbers yet, (at age two) he enjoyed spinning the spinner and putting cheries on the tree. Thanks to my niece for her patience.

Enjoy!

Great first counting game for kids
Our 3-yr old received this game as a gift and thoroughly enjoys it. It is a terrific way for kids to understand how to play board-type games; taking turns, setbacks, etc. The basic game simply has each player remove the number of cherries spun on the spinner. However, there are some "bad" spins that force you to put cherries back on the tree. At first, kids are disappointed to move backwards - but over time, they get the idea that sometimes this happens in games. We use it as a way to start teaching basic math. "If you have 8 cherries and get to take away 2, how many will be left on the tree?" The little cherry buckets are definitely made for kids hands and fingers - they are tough to maneuver for an adult. Small price to pay for a simple to understand, terrific little game.

Great Fun
My daughter learned how to play this game at 2 1/2. She has learned how to count and how to take turns. It's a great way for our family to spend time together.
