Fishing for something to do? Grab some craft foam and start creating this magnetic Gone Fishing Game for kids. A fun game for any season.
What you'll need:
- 2 Sheets of craft foam
- Pen
- Cardboard
- Scissors
- Metal paperclips
- Ruler or stick about 12" long
- String or Plastic lanyard (Rexlace)
- Magnet, rectangular or horseshoe shaped (need to be able to tie string to it)
How to make it:
- Draw up a simple fish outline on a piece of cardboard. Cut out.
- Let the children trace around the fish on the craft foam. Show them how to draw the fish close together to use all the craft foam.
- Let the children cut the fish out. (They don't have to be perfect!)
- Let the children draw faces on the fish.
- Open a paper clip end slightly. Poke it through the fish's mouth. Pull the fish all the way around the paperclip until it "drops" into the open area. Close the paperclip.
- Repeat for the rest of the fish.
- Tie a string on one end of the ruler or stick. (Note: Works great with a ruler that has a hole in the end!)
- On the other end of the string, tie the magnet on.
- Now go fishing!
