I cut the ends off a Starbucks coffee stirrer and made a hole with a heated safety pin. Burnished the ends with a lighter. Voila! Fine motor skills practice.

DIY: Fishing Game
It was a rainy day and the kids needed something to keep thme entertained (read: mommy needed to get stuff done and a break). I gathered a few things to whip together an activity that didn't require spending additional money on materials.
The List:
- fish bath toys
- spare, strong magnets (hubby had some leftover from a project)
- wooden spoons
- string
- bobby pins or paper clips
I simply shoved the magnets in the fishes' mouths and hot glued if needed to make sure they stayed secure. I kept the magnets partially exposed to maximize their effect as the toys are a little hefty for only having metal "hooks" to latch on to. I completed with tying the string to the handles of wooden spoons and adding a bent bobby pin to the end of each one to form "hooks". The end result excited the kids and they played fishing for hours. That's a win! 😉
