Fish On!

 
This is another crazy 3D page but a favorite with my 21 month old. It is a magnetic fishing game that helps to teach colors. The 'aquarium' is poly vinyl that pops up/folds flat. Around the base are different colors of sea grass: (or is it coral) red, orange, yellow, white, green, brown, gray, black, pink, purple and blue.
 
At the top of the page I used an iron-on transfer in black font to create the page title COLORS as I didn't want anyone to match a sea critter to the title. just below the title are two button holes that hold the fishing rod.
 
 
This is made from a 6 inch piece of craft balsa wood, a ribbon, mesh fabric sewn into a pouch, and a magnet strong to pick up all of the sea critters.
 
What are the sea critters? Red crab, orange clown fish, yellow angel fish, white squid, green turtle, brown treasure chest, gray shark, black boot, pink octopus, purple starfish, blue dolphin. Each has two paper clips sewn into them.
 
 
As each is caught, they can be matched with the corresponding sea grass at the base of the aquarium.
