Super Easy Homemade Toy: Indoor Fun with Fishing 🎣 [How to Make & Introduction]

Let’s make a fishing game where you can catch all kinds of sea creatures—big fish, small fish, crabs, and jellyfish! We’ll create the fish using small empty containers and recyclables like plastic bags, yogurt cups, probiotic drink bottles, and toilet paper rolls.

Embed a magnet on the inside where the fish’s head or dorsal fin will be.

For the fishing rod, attach string (like cotton twine) to a pair of chopsticks and add a magnet to the end of the string.

You can wrap the chopsticks with masking tape to make them cute.

Make your kids’ favorite sea creatures and have fun playing!

Whack-a-mole with paper cups

At-home play! A whack-a-mole game using paper cups!? Game!

Instead of whacking moles, this is a new kind of whack-a-mole game where you capture them by covering them with a hammer! Draw mole pictures on several paper cups, then make hammers by attaching handles to paper cups of the same size.

After that, just cover the moles that are placed out with your hammers, stacking them up as you go.

The person who captures the most moles wins! You don’t need a special base—just place the mole cups upside down on a table or the floor—so you can set it up anytime and enjoy it easily.
