Materials

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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
