I have been inspired by so many awesome blogs I have found on the net. I saw a felt fishing set on http://zitzmanfam.blogspot.com/2010/07/felt-fishing-set.html (this blog is sooo awesome and full of tons of cool ideas!)and oh my goodness.. I knew I had to make one right away!
Any excuse to buy more felt or go to the craft store makes a project top priority ;) I didn't take any pic during the process (this was before I started my blog)...but I was able to capture many awesome pics of my 2 little boys enjoying their fishing set :) Calvin (who is 2 and my oldest) found this set awesome! He was instantly entertained and proceeded to play with it on and off all day. Calvin was so proud whenever he caught a fish. He had to show me and say " I fish" :)
He plays with it every day! Even Ethan (my 9 month old) thought fishing was pretty fun!
This was actually a pretty fast project to complete. For me that was great because with 2 busy lil boys actually completing any project is hard. I didn't use the templates that were on the blog but rather cut shapes out by my own template or just winged it. This is a great and fun toy to make!!! I'm even thinking of making a small felt pond to put the fish on :)
Back of Fish w/Velcro... The hook will still "catch" the fish even if the 2 pieces of Velco don't match up! |
