This kit was created when I was asked to design a resource that introduced children to math concepts. With pieces of felt, I stitched up some little fish and attached a paper clip to each mouth. Googly eyes were glued onto the fish and a play mat was created with a blue fabric. Rods were made with dowels, string, and magnets purchased at a dollar store.
Children can learn separating colors, counting, addition and subtraction through this play experience. They can also develop social skills such as turn-taking. It is an excellent way to develop motor skills. All this learning can happen while children think they’re just playing a game.
How many fish can you get biting?
