Review: A great development toy for toddlers - I bought this puzzle for my 18 month old son 3 months ago as a development toy to work on his eye hand coordination and memory. Out of the package this puzzle arrived as expected: the puzzle pieces were in good shape, great quality and were easy to remove and re-insert. The magnet that was attached to the wooden stick worked great with the puzzle pieces: strong enough to the lift the pieces out of the puzzle yet easy enough for my son to remove the pieces from the magnet by hand once he has lifted them from the board. What I love about this product: I really enjoyed that the pictures of the puzzle pieces were not on the board once the pieces are removed. It was great to watch my son develop over a three month span as he went from just removing the pieces (eye hand coordination) to being able to put the puzzle pieces back without needing a picture as a guide (memory). I also enjoyed that the sea creatures are different colors so we could call out colors and watch him figure out which piece to remove. What I didn't like about this product: nothing to report here. Overall I would highly recommend this quality product to anyone looking for a fun puzzle that will help their child with early development skills. In fact after having this puzzle for three months I went out and bought a different Melissa and Doug magnetic puzzle (the bug one) for him to play with. Review: Fun and educational toy! - I wasn't sure how much my 2.5 year old would like this toy but we borrowed it from a friend and she seemed to love it so I splurged and got one. So far she comes back to it every so often and plays with it. I think it is a great toy for developing hand eye coordination in an interesting way. We also had been reading a lot of books that mentioned fishing and this was a simple way to show her what fishing was like. We used all the animal shapes and figures to teach her about ocean life and she would fish for each animal and call out its name. It was fun because we would make a big deal of the catch--yay! You caught a crab! Are you gonna eat him? No! Throw him back in (and she would put the puzzle piece back in). You can have a lot of fun with this in that way. The quality of the toy is very good. The only annoying thing is that the fishing rod has almost gotten lost a few times. So now we just keep it separate and out of reach--and give it to her along with the puzzle if she is going to use it. Problem solved. It's also nice because in order to catch the piece you not only have to hang the rod over it but hover directly over the magnet dot--something to strive for and a skill to develop. I think it's good and a great toy! ## Features - 90% Wood - Imported - Includes 10 magnetic fish pieces and magnetic pole - Adorable artwork in bright, eye-catching colors - A creative way to encourage hand-eye coordination and fine motor development - Sturdy wooden construction - Makes a great gift for girls and boys, ages 3 to 6, for hands-on, screen-free play - Ages 3+ ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000KMHBFA | | Additional Features | Includes 10 magnetic fish pieces and magnetic pole | | Age Range Description | 3+ years | | Best Sellers Rank | #28,967 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #31 in Magnetic & Felt Playboards | | Brand Name | Melissa & Doug | | Color | Ocean | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,683 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Dexterity | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000772037785 | | Included Components | 10 magnetic fish pieces, magnetic pole, wooden puzzle board | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 11.5 x 1 x 1 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 11.95"L x 8.95"W | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | Puzzles | | Item Weight | 0.35 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Melissa & Doug | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 72 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 36 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3778 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No warranty. | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | MND3778 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Number of Players | 2 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Play Activity Location | Tabletop | | Power Source | Hand-powered | | Product Style | Melissa & Doug Deluxe 10-Piece Magnetic Fishing Game | | Puzzle Type | Magnetic Ball Puzzle | | Set Name | Melissa & Doug | | Size | 11.95 x 8.95 x 0.5 | | Skill Level | All | | Sub Brand | Doug | | Subject Character | Animal | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Game | | UPC | 000772037785 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Magnetic Wooden Fishing Game and Puzzle with Wooden Ocean Animal Magnets - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817blwa0MZL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can someone help identify each of the 10 marine creatures? Not mentioned anywhere on the board.** A: I was also wondering about the purple creature. My kid has a Big Book of Sea Creatures and we thought it was a Ornate Wobbegong; but I believe you are right with skate fish. The wobbegong has a very similar form but has whiskery mouth tassles and the skate has more of the pointed face indicated. I was calling it a horseshoe crab until this was really brought to issue. :) **Q: I see that the magnet is a long red block for some of the fishing poles. Is the magnet inside the block or attached at the end on the outside?** A: It is inside the block. But it doesn't work unfortunately. The magnet is not strong enough to pick up the pieces. **Q: Can I replace the pole. I lost mine.** A: You would need to contact Melissa and Doug directly. Most companies would replace at no charge. **Q: Does the fishing pole have a magnet at the end? (one that can come off & be accidentally swallowed by a child) Or is the rod itself just magnetized?** A: magnet at the end of pole but doesn't look like it would get loose.....we just supervise the little one when she is playing with it and then put it away ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great development toy for toddlers *by M***N on May 16, 2015* I bought this puzzle for my 18 month old son 3 months ago as a development toy to work on his eye hand coordination and memory.

I think it's good and a great toy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great "puzzle" for my kiddo *by N***N on October 2, 2024* We have a few of these puzzles from Melissa and Doug and my kid loves them. The pieces fit nicely and its very fun to have a little fishing rod to get them out. The magnet holds the pieces good enough for him to get them off without just falling off. The rod isn't too heavy for him to handle but the only thing about it is that kids like to get wild from time to time and its very easy to swing around and bonk him in the head. The magnet side is pretty solid so it can hurt...so just beware of that. Other than that, there is nothing bad to say. ## Frequently Bought Together - Melissa & Doug Magnetic Wooden Fishing Game and Puzzle With Wooden Ocean Animal Magnets - Melissa & Doug Safari Wooden Chunky Puzzle - 8 Pieces - FSC Certified --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/164119-magnetic-wooden-fishing-game-and-puzzle-with-wooden-ocean-animal](https://www.desertcart.us/products/164119-magnetic-wooden-fishing-game-and-puzzle-with-wooden-ocean-animal) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
