Wooden Fishing Game

Cast the line, catch a fish, count your haul.

The Wooden Fishing Game is a magnetic catch-and-count game that's far cleverer than it first appears. The wooden fishing rod has a magnetic end, and there are seven sea creatures to catch — a starfish, crab, shark, flat fish, herring, cod, and mackerel — each one with a number printed on the back. So while your child thinks they're just fishing, they're also practicing counting, number recognition, and the hand-eye coordination it takes to line up the rod and make the catch.

It's perfect for keeping little ones happily occupied at restaurants, on planes, at grandparents' houses, or anywhere you need a quiet, screen-free activity that fits in a bag.

At $19.99 it's a brilliant gift, a great stocking filler, and a guaranteed hit for any child who loves the ocean. It pairs beautifully with Ocean and the Wooden Sailing Boat for an ocean play theme.
