For over 30 years, Hi Ho! Cherry-O has delighted children and parents with its simple-yet-fun introduction to counting. Children try to be first to pick their trees clean, filling their buckets with cherries. Just watch out for the dog, the bird, and the spilled bucket! Colors and parts may vary. No reading required. Includes gameboard, four cherry buckets and 40 plastic cherries.
For 2 to 4 players.
Round and round she goes. Hi Ho! Cherry-O is the counting game in which players race to be the first to have 10 cherries in their basket. A spin of the arrow determines your fate. It will instruct you to pick one, two, three, or four cherries from your tree and put 'em in your basket. That is, of course, if you don't land on the bird or the dog, requiring you to take two cherries from your basket and return them to the tree. And try not to land on the spilled bucket or--you guessed it--spill the contents of your basket or you start over. --Alison Golder

Great Game:
This game is wonderful for youngsters learning about counting and give and take! It is also available at Toys R Us for 4.99 if you are looking to save some money.

Highly Education and Highly Tedious:

You put the cherries on the tree, you move them one by one into the bucket, and just when someone has almost picked all the cherries and the misery is almost over, you spin a dog, bird, or spilled bucket and start over again. Utter torture.
Like the new various colors:
We used to have my sister's kids older game and all of the cherries were red. We lost some pieces so we bought another game. The new games have four different colors. This makes it easier to keep track of the cherries. They even give a couple more of each color in case you lose some. However, just like the original game, the cherries are small so they pose a choking hazard if played around younger children.
great educational toy but be careful with the small parts:
My daughter who is 3 1/2 and her cousin who is 7 had a good time playing this game together but adult supervision needed to be close at hand to help out with the concept of sharing ect. It is a great way to learn about different fruits, numbers, counting and colors. My son who is 2 and our nephew who is 3 1/2 tend to put quite a few things in their mouths so I was a little concerned and stayed right there while they were both playing the game or watching the girls play because I was concerned about the... more info
