Discover Countless Ways To Play
	
	
Help kids count all the fish pieces.
	
	
	
Help kids identify colors and patterns on the fish (red, orange, striped, spotted).
	
	
	
Have kids line up the fish from biggest to smallest.
	
	
	
Have kids sort the fish into groups (odd or even numbers, striped or spotted patterns.)
	
	
	
Place a bowl or bucket at the other end of the room. Challenge kids to catch the fish with the rod, then walk to the bowl or bucket and deposit the fish, one at a time.
	
	
	
Roll down the top of the storage bag until it makes a shallow pool. Place all the fish in the pool and ask kids to catch them all.
	
	
	
Set a timer or count to 20 while the players collect as many fish as possible with their fishing rods. See who collects the most!
	
	
	
Challenge kids to tap each fish's body with the "hook" without attaching to the fish's magnet.
	
	
	
Decorate a large piece of construction paper to make a fishing pond for your play surface. Add fishing chairs, hats, and buckets to complete the scene!
	
 
About Melissa & Doug
Our mission is to provide a launch pad to ignite imagination and a sense of wonder in all children so they can discover themselves, their passions, and their purpose.
 
There was a time not so long ago when childhood offered the space and freedom for children to explore their world. To be curious. To be creative. To be bold. To be bored. To just . . . be. Today, our overstimulated and overscheduled children are using their imaginations less than ever. It’s a crisis in the making. And it’s why we’re committed to making products that inspire creative thinking and encourage kids to see new possibilities. It’s also why the American Academy of Pediatrics chose to join forces with us to champion the health benefits of open-ended play.
 
We make toys and other products that offer Countless Ways To Play. We believe the best playthings are often simple concepts that inspire children to come up with their own twists. With everything we create, we hope to encourage:
	
Free Play
	
Creativity
	
Imagination
