Q: Can the fish go in water like a bath toy? Or this be strictly pretend play on dry land?
submitted by LHShort - 1 year ago
A: Hi,
Since the fish are made of wood they should not be exposed to water or used as a bath toy.

My son loves this toy
The fish pieces feel very sturdy and the magnets are well secured. The fishing rod is made out of sturdy materials too. When winding the "hook" if it is over wound it just winds up the opposite way (it doesn't break).

Eh
This toy was terrible for our family. It can be pretty dangerous if you’re not keeping close eye on them. The pole isn’t Sharp and long to fall on

Could be better
This is a cute game but could be better. For one thing, the bad to hold all the pieces isn’t really long enough for the fishing poles and the Velcro doesn’t really work. As a parent, these factors are annoying.

Kid loves it
I bought this for my nephew’s 4th birthday. I thought it might get pushed aside for the plethora of other way cooler toys he got but he was stoked on this fishing set. He still plays with it almost a year later. Great quality and winning gift.

Great Toy, Needs Longer String
As others have mentioned, the string is way too short, so we cut it and tied another string onto it to make it longer and it works well. If they could just make the string longer, it would be perfect! It’s so much fun! He loves playing with it. And I love that it also has a learning/teaching element to it as well.

I will be buying these again& again!
My 15 month old enjoyed this gift so much! He did manage to break the poles, one he broke in half& the other only broke the rod. BUT DEFINITELY will be buying again! It took him 4 months to break so I think that's pretty durable for him. He absolutely loves it, he doesn't play the game but he loves catching the fish! Thank y'all so much for making an amazing toy! My son is just a wild child.

Not worth anything above 20bucks
Not worth the price, fishing rod has a very short line with no way of extending it for taller kiddos. Disappointed

Disappointed.
Bought this for my sons birthday. We love Melissa and Doug usually but within the first day or 2 one of the rods came apart. I happened to buy it in the store instead of online so I can’t easily exchange it because the store is almost an hr away. Only Got 2 stars because my son loves it.
