Inspired by Dr.Seuss's One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, the boys and I decided to have {what they called} a "fishing party". Doesn't everything sound more fun when you add "party" to the end of it???
Here is what we did:
First, we made some fish. The boys traced a fish template I made, cut them out, and added a googly eye.
Second, we had a snack while we were waiting for the glue to dry. We had Goldfish and peanut butter sandwiches cut out with a fish-shaped cookie cutter. (The eye of the fish is a chocolate chip.)
Third, we made a fishing rod out of a dowel, some ribbon, and a clothespin. We used gummie worms for bait.
It was easy and fun and kept them entertained for hours. Give it a try, and let me know how it goes. :-)

DeleteHow were they able to open the clothespins to hook the gummy worms?
ReplyDeleteThey held the rod, and I opened the clothespins.
DeleteHow does it pick up the fish?
ReplyDeleteIt's a clothespin. I opened the clothespin and attached the fish.
