Playing is fun and learning can be too!

Fishing For Candy Canes! AGES 3+

Age 3+, Age 4+, Age 5+, Age 6+, Gross Motors, Winter

This game takes some patience. When they get the hang of it. Set a timer and have them try to beat the clock!

Materials (affiliate links):
Stick
String
Rice
Christmas Bucket (got mine at the dollar store)
Candy Canes (got mine at the dollar store)

Here is a video of the boys doing the activity!

First get a stick and tie a string to it. On the other end tie a candy cane upside down.

It helps to put some rice in the container so the candy canes stand up. It also gives the bucket a little more weight so it won’t fall over as easy.

Now you are ready to fish!
