It's no secret that we are big fans of the educational but fun games from the folks at Learning Resources. In fact, Avalanche Fruit Stand is the 3rd game we have happily been sent for review. Previous reviews include the Rainbow Color Cones and Counting Cookies.
Avalanche Fruit Stand is perfect for kids who need to further develop their fine motor skills, especially the all–important pincer grasp that prepares children for handwriting. It also reinforces a child's knowledge of colors, numbers, and fruit names.
Like other Learning Resources Games all this educational gain is masked within the silly confines of fun. One's choice of fruit grabbed can trigger an avalanche of fruit spilling down cause giggles to flow as well.
If your child isn't quite able to manipulate the jumbo tweezers yet, consider allowing them to use their fingers the first few times and moving up to tweezers as they grow. Can't spin the spinner yet? Perhaps mommy spins it once and it applies to both players that round.
One lucky reader will win an Avalanche Fruit Stand Game of their own.
