Fish Art Pages-Very Nice!
Indoor Fishing Trip
Required: Fishing Rod
Tie On Magnet
Plastic Fish
Hula Hoop
Description:
I purchased a Hula Hoop, short Fishing Rod & Reel,
plastic fish & stick on magnets. I placed the
magnets at the fishes mouth and a larger metal
weight that the magnet would cling to at the
end of the fishing rod. I made sure the fish
line was cut to be not too long. The Hula
hoop was secured to the floor with Oh my!
I can't think what you call it but it's white
and sticky on both sides you can by it in
the craft department at Walmart and it comes
in a roll or strips. The plastic fish were
placed in the middle of the Hula hoop and
the residents sat in a circle and took turns fishing.
After our fishing trip we had bowls of chocolate
pudding with gummy worms sticking out & a nice cool drink.

"I have something in my pocket

So I'll take it out and put it on
It's a great big happy smile!"

smiles at you and when you smile.

Talk about emotions and facial expressions.
