I like to do various semi-education activities with my kids, most often on Saturdays. We call these Science Saturdays activities. I am going to post about some of the successful activities and the less-than-great semi-educational activities.

KiwiCo Fishing Game

We have used many kits from KiwiCo they are a great company that provides fun and educational toys and kits. They are sometimes hit-and-miss. Today, we will cover the fishing game.

The KiwiCo Fishing Game is an engaging and educational activity designed to captivate young minds while promoting learning through play. This interactive game combines the excitement of fishing with hands-on exploration and discovery.

Kid Approved? Sort of

Sadly, this wasn’t as much of a hit as many KiwiCo kits. The kit was a bit too hard for the 4 and 6-year-old to do without a lot of assistance, and basically, they only had an interest in building it. Once we were done making it, they had zero interest in playing the game.

The 4-year-old, did briefly enjoy making the tackle box and filling it with her little toys and treasures.

Given that it was a bit hard for the kids to build and they didn’t really enjoy the final product, this is one of the less successful kits we have had from KiwiCo, I would skip this one unless your kid already shows serious interest in fishing.

Kit / Toy Detailed Description

The game comes as a comprehensive kit with all the necessary components to create a mini-fishing experience. Inside the kit, you’ll find a vibrant and sturdy game board that represents a whimsical underwater scene, complete with colorful fish, aquatic plants, and a charming backdrop. The attention to detail in the design not only makes the game visually appealing but also stimulates imagination and creativity.

The heart of the KiwiCo Fishing Game lies in its interactive elements. A miniature fishing rod with a magnet at the end allows young players to “catch” magnetic fish from the game board’s surface. Each fish features a unique design and is magnetically attracted to the fishing rod, creating a fun and realistic fishing experience. This hands-on interaction enhances fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and concentration.
