Alphabet fishing game

I can't take credit for this cute game, this comes courtesy of Allie over at my favorite educational blog, No Time For Flash Cards (http://www.notimeforflashcards.com/2008/07/parents-corner-make-this-tonight.html). It was a big win at our house so I thought I would share it on my blog too:)

This is a really simple game to make. Just make a fish template and copy it onto construction paper. Cut out the fish, add letters and a smile, and attach the eyes. I used paper fasteners, but you can use pretty much anything that is magnetic.

We already have a magnetic fishing pole from the Dollar Tree, and it worked perfectly for this game. But you could just as easily attach a magnet to some twine and wrap it around a stick!

Aiden already knows his colors and letters, but really enjoyed the fishing aspect of the game. It is a great game to introduce colors and letters to Ava, and she can't stop yelling, "Fish! There it is! That is a FISH!" Lol.
