Magnetic Fish

Catch some giggles and develop skills while playing! Set up a water sensory table with a drop of blue color dye. Throw in the fish, and use a magnet attached to a string and stick to form an at-home fishing excursion. You can have this be a rainbow-fishing trip or add letters and or numbers to the fish for an even deeper sea discovery.  If you want to add letters, begin with what is familiar to your child—start with the letters of their name.  On a separate piece of paper write their name out and have them match each fish or letter to each letter in their name.  You can also do this for the entire alphabet and for numbers! This is a wonderful activity that works on hand-eye coordination, focus, resilience and fine motor skills.
