Most preschoolers love a fishing game - so here is an idea for an special Valentine variation which you can make yourself.
Age: young
You will need:
Several large heart-shaped fish cut out of card or craft foam. Spend some time decorating them with your children, if you wish, to make the game extra special, and stick a small craft magnet on the tips of their noses.
You will also need some toy fishing poles with magnets on the end.
Instructions:
Scatter your fish into an empty plastic tub or just on a rug on the floor. Give the kids a fishing rod and let them try to catch a fish. For each fish caught, award a small prize such as a Hershey's kiss or other small Valentine candy.
Variations:
Write a number onto the underneath of each fish. The child who catches the highest number wins.
Write a letter onto the underneath of each fish. The child whose fish has the letter closest to the beginning of the alphabet wins.
Draw a heart on the underneath of one or two fishes. Only these special fish win a prize.
