We had done a bit of painting with and chasing magnets a few days back so I decided to explore some more. I already had colored rice and beans in his sensory bin so the rest took about ten minutes to set up.
I cut up little hearts and fishes from colored paper, put a paperclip on each of them and mixed them up in his red rice tub.
For the fishing stick, I tied one end of a piece of yarn to a stick and one end to a magnet.
That's it!
As the clips got attracted to and stuck on the magnet, he fished them out one by one!

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable game. Thanks for sharing at the #LMMLinkup.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and a perfect valentine's craft for little ones. We often play the fishing game using bracken leaves as fish and sticky weed as a rod, same effect as the bracken sticks to the sticky weed, except you can only do it in summer! This is a great winter alternative.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with me on #Trash2Treasure
Such a clever, fun idea, and love that you're catching hearts :)
