To make the fishing poles, cut your string or yarn to the correct length. There is not a specific length, but do keep in mind that young children like to wave the fishing rods about quite often. For this reason, you may want to keep the strings on your fishing poles to 12 inches or less to avoid any potential problems.
Then, attach the string or yarn to a dowel rod. I tied the string on my fishing rods and then secured it with hot glue. Next, you can attach your button magnets to the end of each string. Please keep in mind that button magnets are small, therefore supervision is required for this activity.

How cute are these little goldfish!? You can have your students color them all the same, or use rainbow colors to math. Additionaly, you can turn this into a listening skills activity by calling out a letter and instructing students to color all fish with that letter blue! Alternatively, provide your students with a handful of goldfish crackers to find and cover each letter you call out. You can extend the life of these free printable activities by adding them to page protectors and having your students use dry erase markers.
We had so much fun with our magnet unit that I wanted to continue the magnet work even during our new unit. So I prepared a fishing-with-magnets sensory bin for more learning fun with magnets. I even found free printable letter, number, color, and shape fish that work perfectly for the sensory bin. I already had my DIY sensory table and magnets, so it was easy to set up.
The sensory table is designed to be disassembled. We found it best to hammer the pieces together after assembling the table to avoid having the table collapse. So ours are more permanent, which is fine. I have a sensory table available at all times on my balcony or next to my balcony door. Zoey is absolutely in love with sensory bins/tables!
Feel free to adapt your sensory bin for your family. These are just the materials I used. If you have a toddler who mouths objects, be sure to use large enough objects or only have the sensory bin available when you are closely supervising your toddler.
I typically mix my ingredients in a jumbo-sized Ziplock bag. I use approximately 2 tablespoons of water to wet each 2 lb. bag of rice and then add food coloring until it reaches the color I want. This time, I just used plain rice and food coloring to create a variety of colors of blue. Liquid watercolor can be used instead of food coloring, but I recommend food coloring of some sort if you have a toddler who might taste the rice.
After a few days, I added all the magnets I had used for our magnetic unit. You could add magnetic letters or numbers or any type of magnetic objects or pictures (or puzzle pieces) to the sensory bin. Zoey loves it and works in our magnet sensory bin each day she visits.

Now grab bingo markers (also known as do a dot markers, bingo dauber, bingo bingo dabbers, circle stickers, crayons, markers, colored pencils, gel pens, play doh to use as alphabet playdough mats, or whatever is handy.
Start out by cutting the pages in half so there is a half pages fish bowl for each alphabet letter of the alphabet A to Z. Then, you can use bingo markers, crayons, markers, or even playdough to mark each of the fish that belongs in that fish bowl by practicing letter recognition to the featured letter in the castle.
HINT: You can laminate sheets or put in a page protector to make this literacy activity reusable. Then use playdough balls to cover all the fish with the same letter as is featured on the castle. I had my students use one color for the capital letters and a different color playdough for the lowercase letters.

In this sensory alphabet letter activity your toddler or preschooler has to search specifically for certain alphabet letters. Here we were searching for the Letter C because that is the alphabet letter we are currently working on in our Letter of the week crafts curriculum.
You can also work on sight words with an older child by doing a sight word treasure hunt or sight word fishing game. You can have your child pick up all the letters that make up that sight word, you can use this to help a child learn to spell their name. The possibilities are endless and that is one reason this activity is so special. Another plus is that it is such a simple activity to put together and it is so much fun!
