- Foam Paper Fish
- Round Magnets
- Strong cord or twine I used
- Wooden Dowel I used a three foot long dowel
- Eye hook
- Glue
- Paper clips
- markers for decorating
Screw the eye hook into one end of the wooden dowel
Cut the string to the length that you think will work for your purposes. You'll want a shorter string if you are doing this on top of a table, and a longer string if the kids will be standing up to catch their fish
Attach one end of your twine or rope by tying a knot through the eye hook
Put some of the strong glue on a magnet, set the other end of the rope into the glue and add the other magnet to the glue. You should have string sandwiched between two magnets with a strong glue like super glue or SuperWeld
Glue paper clips to the mouth area of the fish
Decorate the fish - You can add numbers or letters to the fish for a game in learning numbers and letters
