Directions
\n<\/b>Invite your child to tear blue construction paper into strips and place in the plastic bin or container. Tie fishing line to a magnet and then tie it onto the end of a wooden dowel approximately 18\u201324 inches in length. Using a black marker, draw dots from 1\u201310 onto the different fish shapes. Slide a paperclip on each fish and place in the large bin and cover with the paper water. Invite your child to go “fishing” using the wooden dowel as a fishing pole. As each fish is caught, count the number of dots and match it to the corresponding numeral.<\/p>\n
This activity requires some patience as your child searches to find fish and supports counting and numeral recognition. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
