Overview

The creator, a preschool teacher, documents the entire process of creating a DIY magnetic fishing game for his students. He starts by building a small pool out of wooden blocks, then gathers and prepares natural sticks for the fishing rods by sanding them and attaching magnets. He then modifies plastic goldfish toys by adding paper clips, and finally sets up the entire activity in an outdoor play area, making it look inviting for the children.

Transcript

This is a fishing activity I made for my kids as a 19 year old preschool teacher. If you're new here, I'm Mr. Danny, and this week I used these blocks to construct a small pool for the water. I wanted this activity to feel as natural as possible, so I wanted to use u a six for my fishing rod. I ended up going to the beach over the weekend, and luckily tier was a worst nearby, so I chose a couple busted outs. I sanded the sticks down to make sure my preschoolers won't get any splintered. After drilling some holes, I used fishing line and secured magnets to the sticks to make fishing rods. For the fish, tier saying hi to Ruby, I poke some holes and push paper clips through these goldfish so that they would be attracted to the magnet. After making my fishing rods and fish, I went outside to set up my activity. I wanted a place for my preschoolers to store their fish after catching them, so I yes these wooden drawers from a shelf. After this, I moved on to my favorite part of setting up an activity, which is making it feel inviting. Honestly, this fishing activity was so fun that I even spent a couple minutes playing with it before the kids came outside. Although
