This week we are working on the letter F. While I was looking around for fish activities I found this super cute homemade fishing game! But I didn't really want to invest the amount of time it would take me to sew those fish. So I decided to make my own no-sew version with stuff I already had laying around my house.
The Fish
I traced and cut out a very basic fish outline and glued a small magnet to the back of each one.
You can write letters, numbers, words, etc on the fish if you want, but we're just focusing on colors for now.
The Fishing Pole
I duct taped a piece of ribbon to a short wooden dowel. Then super glued two magnets to the other end of the ribbon. And DONE!
It was super easy to make, and cheap since I already had all of these supplies.











9 love me:
Very cool! We worked on F this week (I'll post 2marro) too..I made some fish that I think I can add some magnets to, very cool..thanks for the tip =)
Oh my gosh, that is so cool!!! My sons would love to play this home made game! thank you so much for sharing it!
I actually made the sewn version as a Christmas gift for my nephew last year. But I love your paper version! I think this would be a fun thing to make for the kids who come into the pediatric office where I work. I could take it out when the doctor is running late. I bet the boys, especially, would love it! PS...I really like how you used materials on hand, especially ribbon for the fishing line and duct tape!
Great idea! I am going to do this with my little ones!! Thanks for sharing!
Simple and easy! Good job! If you running out of magnets, I wonder if paperclips would work as well.
Oh, how FUN! I think my 2 yr old would totally dig this! ;)
Great idea! I hate to sew.
Cute idea!
Great idea. I can not sew so your no sew fish caught my eye. We will be making these this summer, and we are working on colors so fits perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
