This line-fishing game (inspired yesteryear this one over at Make, Do as well as Friend) is a fun agency to exercise some hand-eye coordination spell learning the names of solid unit of measurement members as well as friends.
All nosotros did was laminate some Holiday bill of fare photos, record a newspaper clip to the dorsum (or merely clip it on), as well as and then role a homemade line-fishing rod to "fish" for the friends.
