This is a simple game to play and it is pretty simple to make as well. All you will have to do is to make some fish that are about 2-3" long and 1-2" wide. They need to be big enough to poke a hole in them for the hook to go through. To make sure that they are waterproof, cover each fish with a good coating of crayons. To make the fishing pole, use a stick, chopstick or a nice pencil. Then tie a string to the pole and on the other side bend a paperclip into a hook by looking at the illustration above. Then to play dump a bunch of the fish into a bath tub and then see who gets more fish...that is the person who wins.
To make these paperclip bookmarks, you will need one 12" pipe cleaner, felt scraps, thread the same color as scraps, needle, sequins, small beads, cotton, paper clip, glue, pencil, paper for pattern. Cut felt into the zig-zaggy pattern you see above. Overcast (directions for the overcast stitch here) body pieces together along zig-zaggy felt edge, sewing beads to spine. Add bright beads for eyes and sequins for decoration. Insert pipe cleaner so that 1" sticks out at X and rest of it goes through body and out point marked XX. Stuff body with cotton and sew to bottom. Sew paper clip below. XX. (See sketch.) Curve wire on top of worm's head; glue sequin to end. Clip bookworm to outside of book and bend wire tail to mark place in book.
You will need animal patterns to trace ....there is a bird, bunny, squirrel, and a parrot. Cut out the animal templates and then connect them with paper clips thru the head region. You can string all the animals together or just string one type of animal. You can string them across a window or across a wall.
