Are you running out of games to play with your little ones but have little patience to make an elaborate craft? Try out this DIY magnet fishing game! The best part? It can double as “science class” as you can explain the mechanics of magnetism to them with this visual aid.  Safety note: Neodymium magnets are not toys and are intended for adults 18 and older. Any project that uses neodymium magnets should be done only under the direct supervision of an adult, and the magnets should be kept away from young children and pets. If two or more magnets, or a magnet and a metal object, are swallowed, they can pull together through the intestinal walls and cause serious injury. Get emergency medical care right away if you suspect a magnet has been swallowed. It’s important to note -- while the magnets are sealed between layers of felt, not inside the fish and there’s less of a chance of pinched fingers, extra caution and close supervision should be taken when using magnets near children. Small magnets are a serious swallowing hazard, so an adult should prepare and handle the magnet bait, and this craft is not suitable for children who still put objects in their mouths.  Continue reading →
