Dad can fish any time and anywhere with this handy travel sized fishing game!

Choose as many colours as you need for the amount of players you have. 1. Choose 4 different coloured chenille stems and wind them around a scratch board tool. Bend and twist a loop at the end to create the fishing rods.

2. Paint your spools the same colours as your fishing rods & allow to dry. Attach to the rods with corresponding coloured metallic yarn.

3. Cut circles out of the magnetic strip and stick to the end of each spool. Glue dots can be used for a more permanent bond.

4. Create a simple fish template. Use the foam and cut out 8 fish for each colour as well as 8 small pieces of magnetic strip. Peel off the adhesive and then join the two magnet strips back-to-back.

5. Peel off the adhesive of 2 of the same coloured fish. Place the magnet strip inside the mouth of one fish, then place the other fish shape on top to seal it. The magnet should stick out of the fish’s mouth. Repeat for the remaining fish.

6. Create a design for your game on the front of the cotton bag using the fabric markers. Place all the pieces of your game into the bag ready for Dad to play!
