Learning with Hi Ho Cherry Oh

Mouse Over or Click Image to See Amazon Price
I pulled down a preschool educational board game from the game shelf (which is getting rather high) that we have not played in a while: Hi Ho Cherry-O. While playing the game with my preschooler, I realized it does more than teach counting.
The goal of Hi Ho Cherry-O is to pick all your cherries off your tree and put them in your basket. You do this by taking off the number of cherries indicated by the spinner on your turn. The challenge …

My preschool son’s name only has 4 letters - but he’s been very stubborn about learning it. So I thought up a fun game to practice.

The next step is to ‘hide’ each letter in different places around the …
