Objective
Use problem‑solving skills to design and build fish, worms, hooks, fishing line, and fishing poles using basic art supplies.
Materials
- Crayons or markers
- Scissors
- Paper
- String or dental floss
- Tape
- small magnets (optional)
Procedure
- Examine the provided materials.
- Brainstorm creative ways to make fish, worms, hooks, fishing poles, and fishing line from what you have.
- Create your fishing items using your chosen designs.
- Simulate the fishing process once your items are complete.
Tips
- Children can draw and cut out fish and worms from paper.
- Hooks can be made from sticky tape.
- Fishing poles can be rolled and taped paper tubes.
- Fishing line can be made from string or dental floss.
- To simulate fishing, children can “fish” over the side of a chair or couch.
- One person replaces the worm with a fish and tugs on the line to mimic a nibble and bite.
- The others then reel in and “catch” the fish.
