Magnetic Wooden Fishing Game | Toys for Kids, Set for Toddlers with Sea Creatures | Age 3-5

I bought this for my 3 year old son who likes to play with toys that require concentration (eg. threading bobbins and putting money in a money box).He had lots of toys Christmas day and this was the one he kept coming back to. A firm favourite. Its chunky, brightly coloured - lovely to look at- and tactile. Although there are smaller pieces they seem to stay together and so does the fishing "pole". He realy enjoys it and he tells me all the names of the creatures as he plays. The only word of caution is I think there is a slight weakness to the sides of the puzzle as it is bare plywood here. So watch out for water, the sides are a bit soft as I found out as I tried to get the plastic off and my sissors scored the edges easily. Normal play etc should not affect the durability of the toy.

I bought this for my daughter 18 months and she loves it ,spent a long time picking up fish etc . Great for hand eye coordination , colour recognition and counting. We took it on holiday and whilst waiting at airport played fishing to pass the time, and it doesn't take up much room. I took along a tub with lid to keep the fish in once they were " caught" .

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.

My son showed interest in this type of puzzle at speech therapy so I bought this for him. Him(3) and his little brother(2) love playing with it. Has held up well. I want more kinds.

Excelente juego. A mi niño de año y medio le encanta. Ya tiene 2 meses usandolo y ahora le encanta armarlo. Te encantará para tu chiquitin.

it helps to improve baby's hand skill. he can play 10mins everyday.

A good chunky, magnetic puzzle set from Melissa and Doug. It gives my 2 year old a sense of pride when he manages to solve the puzzle. Also he loves the fishing line and keeps singing the famous poem 'one two three four five once I caught a fish alive'. Easy to maintain, sturdy, durable, colorful toy that helps in developing cognitive skills. If your baby likes magnets, I would definately recommend to go for this product.
