Ice Fishing Game
Directions:
- Cut out different colors and sizes of fish to laminate, making sure to cut out two of each fish. Attach a magnet to the mouth of one fish from each pair and spread the other pair out on a work space. Place the magnetic fish in a kiddie pool, covered with white paper except for a relatively large hole in the middle. Talk to your children about ice fishing and then do your own ice fishing. Have your children fish out a fish, with a fishing pole made from a stick with a string and magnet attached. Once a child has caught a fish have him find its match from the work space.
