Develop Essential Skills with a Fun DIY Magnetic Fishing Game

In this video, I share a playful fishing game that's perfect for supporting early learning at home or in the classroom. Children will love "catching" fish while practising important skills like turn-taking, number recognition, and hand–eye coordination. Check out this fun fishing game you can easily create! This DIY project is great for fine motor skills development, especially for improving pincer grasp and hand-eye coordination. It's a fantastic activity for early years learning.

This game can be easily adapted to suit different age groups and learning goals—use it to practise letters, colours, counting, or even simple words.

No special equipment needed—just a few simple materials and a bit of imagination!

💡 Perfect for:
– Early childhood educators
– Preschool and kindergarten activities
– Homeschool learning through play

Watch to see how it works, and try it out with your own learners!

👋 Hi, I’m Kate
I’m an early childhood trainer, university teacher, and passionate educator. I help educators create engaging, meaningful programs without the stress. I focus on the areas that often feel hardest: observations, planning, and interview preparation.

With over 17 years in the early childhood profession, I’ve worked as a nanny, playgroup coordinator, library storyteller, kinder teacher, educational leader, and now a university lecturer. I still work as a relief ECT in preschools and long day care centres to stay connected to what’s happening in real settings.

🎓 I hold a Certificate III, Diploma, Bachelor’s and Master’s in Early Childhood Education, plus a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
🎹 I sing with children and pre-service teachers, play piano and ukulele, and write songs that make learning fun
📚 I read everything I can about early childhood because I love this field and always want to keep learning
