Make a fun fishing game for the kids with this easy craft idea. Get the kids involved, use Tara's free template and get creative decorating your fish or use the printable fish. Have fun fishing ....

You will need:

Colored and black foam sheets
Scissors
Craft glue
Printable fish template
Dowel rod
Black paint
Masking tape
String
Magnates
Washers - various sizes

Fishing Rod Base
Cut your rod to length with a hand saw and paint it with a black acrylic color.

Fishing Rod Handle
Before adding the handle to your rod, glue on your fishing string.
Cut a black piece of foam to size. Tara's measures 140mm high.
Glue and wrap the foam around the rod making sure it covers where the string has been attached.
Cut two small strips of foam and glue these around the bottom and top of the handle. This will create a real fishing rod feel to the grip.

Fishing Rod Loops
Cut small strips of foam and wrap them around the rod and string. One at half way, one 3/4 and one at the very top.
These will hold the string in place. Let the string hang loose between these loops.

Magnets
Slip a washer onto the end of the string. Glue the string to the magnet and glue the washer over the string. The washer will hold the string closer to the center of the magnet meaning the magnet will hang flat. This will make it easier to pick up the fish.

Make Your Fishes
Print off your template and the fish out of your colored foam sheets. You'll find scissors work really well on these sheets.
Decorate Your Fish. Add a washer to the eye of the fish, this is so you can catch them.

Make Your Pond
Tara cut a pond from a piece of fabric, but felt or cardboard would work as well.
Once everything is dry you can head off and go fishing.

Tara's Top Tips Some magnets are only magnetic on one side and repel on the other. Therefore make sure you attach it so the magnetic side is facing the right way to pick up the fish.

The classic garland graduates from cute craft to creepy decor with this template for spiders.

Steps

Cut a 5''W x 18''L strip from a 12''W x 18''L sheet of construction paper. Measure in three inches from one of the five-inch ends and mark. From there, measure and mark four more times.
Fold paper at the first mark. Then flip over and fold again at the next mark. Keep flipping and folding, making an accordion shape.
Print the spider template and cut as directed.
Center it atop the folded paper, and trace around the shape with a pencil.
Carefully cut out the shape, going through all the layers of folded paper, and unfold to reveal. To create a longer row, repeat steps and adhere garlands together with tacky glue.
