A reminder: always double-check children are supervised when playing with small magnets.
Trace the fish templates onto a colored sheet of fun foam and cut out.
Make as many as you like for your fish pond!
you’re able to also cut out your own fish shapes instead of using the template.
Draw different patterns onto the fish with a marker.
If you are planning to use the fish in water, a permanent marker will hold up the best.
Glue the googly eyes into place with hot glue.
Add a paper clip to the mouth of each fish.
The Fishing Rod
Decorate your dowel with paint or tape.
We used electrical tape on ours!
Feed the other side of the string through a bead.
Finally, glue your strong magnet to the bottom of the bead.
Catch as many fish as you’re free to with your fishing rod!
Learning Through Play
Practice color vocabulary as your little one catches the fish.
Ask them what color it is, or ask them to try and catch a specific colored fish.
Once all the fish are caught, count how many you have as you throw them back.
To practice letters or numbers, add a letter or number to each fish.
Or just go fishing and see what numbers and letters you catch.
Try putting a letter on each fish that spells out a name or another word.
