Q: How is counting used
submitted by Kattie - 3 years ago
A: Hi there! You can count all the fish pieces, or just add up the fish pieces you catch. The colorful fish are numbered so you can sort the fish into groups ( even and odd numbers). All of which are in our "Discover countless ways to play" included with the game. Don't hesitate to call us at 800-284-3948 if you have any other questions!

Great Toy, Needs Longer String

OrganicMama - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
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.
Kids loved it!!

Super fun, both of my kids had fun with it! The only issue was that the fishing rod string untied pretty quickly.

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.

My niece loved this, and so did her parents. There are many skills that can be strengthened by playing this 1 game: counting, letter and number recognition, turn taking, and fine motor. So nice that it is made with wood and not plastic. I always get children's presents from this company. They are the best!

This is so fun! We got it for my 5 year old. Even my 10 year old enjoyed it. I love that it comes with a bag to keep it all organized. My only critique is that the string that dangles down on the rod to catch the fish is like 3 inches long. I wish it were longer!
Skip this one and buy something more fun

Usually love Melissa and Doug products but this fishing “game” missed the mark. The reels don’t actually work, one of them broke within the first hour of opening it. There are no real directions for a game. My 4 year old got tired of it real fast.

Mellissa and Doug toys are always great quality and super cute. This was good too. The only thing I felt that could be better is that the string doesn’t actually extend. It only extends an extra 2 inches or so. Other sets I’ve seen can actually allow you to reel in the fishing line. This one is really just a dangling string for the most part that you try to stick onto the magnetic fish pieces. Aside from that all the wood pieces are well made and I like that it comes with a storage bag

Disappointed in the size of fishing pole. It's way too short for a 4 yr old. Says it's for 3+. Wasted money.
