Gone Fishing Game

Difficulty: Very Easy

Parental supervision is recommended

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:

  1. Draw up a simple fish outline on a piece of cardboard. Cut out.
  2. 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.
  3. Let the children cut the fish out. (They don't have to be perfect!)
  4. Let the children draw faces on the fish.
  5. 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.
  6. Repeat for the rest of the fish.
  7. Tie a string on one end of the ruler or stick. (Note: Works great with a ruler that has a hole in the end!)
  8. On the other end of the string, tie the magnet on.
  9. Now go fishing!
