Indoor fishing

4 shiney stars

For this you'll need:

  • string
  • dowel (or a stick)
  • paper (or cardboard)
  • paper clips
  • glue
  • small magnets

Trace out then cut the shape of a fish from the paper and slip the paperclip near the head.

Then, create a fishing rod with the string and dowel.  Fix the magnet at the end of the string (where the hook normally goes). 

Scatter the fish on the ground then "fish" using your fishing rod!

You can either create a boat to sit in, or fish from the lounge chair.

Tip: Ensure you get strong magnets - you'll find kids get frustrated if they aren't strong enough to catch the fish!
