I purchased this game for my kindergarten classroom. My students love playing it, but there are a few things that disappoint me about it. The biggest problem is that the actual stand is made of cardboard. I don't know how long it will hold up in a classroom of busy fiveand six-year-olds. With that being said, the tweezers help students perfect their fine motor skills, and they get some basic color and number practice with the spinner. The kids seem to enjoy this, but because the stand is made of cardboard, I could only give it three stars overall.

My four year old loves games and he picks this one occasionally but it is definitely not a favorite or his or mine. Even on the most difficult setting, he doesn't really have any problems getting the fruit and the instructions for game play just don't make for an exciting game. A good idea but it needs a little tweaking. We have used the fruit and tweezers for other activites...

As a OT I had used this toy to develop eye-hand coordination, visual discrimination of color, depth perception, impulses control and following instructions. Kids love it.

Honest reviews on Avalanche Fruit Stand

Great game for the development of small muscles of the hand. My early childhood and kindergarten kids love it. All pieces are durable. Like the option that it can be adjusted for a variety of skill levels.

This is a great game. I love it because it is so versatile. There is the traditional game in which players spin and then take the appropriate color/number of fruits from the stand. The game ends when one player has one of each of the 5 fruits. We vary that ending by playing until all of the fruit is off of the stand (no winner is declared this way).

There are so many things that kids are learning and reinforcing while playing this game. There is fruit identification, color identification and counting involved. The tweezers used to get the fruit help increase a child's muscles which will later be used to write. As with any game, children are also learning how to take turns, set up and clean up.

We gave this game to our daughter when she was 3 1/2 and she was able to play it then but has gotten a lot better with practice using the tweezers.

The components of this game could be used to do other things. The tweezers could be used for picking up a variety of objects. The fruits could be sorted by color/fruit or for building patterns. Again it is versatile.
