Etsy Felt Toy Fishing Game Review

Educational Toy For Preschoolers

I would like to re-introduce you to Erin of the Etsy Shop Sapucha. A few months ago she gave my daughter and I the opportunity to review and giveaway her handmade felt fishing game, and we were delighted! Erin has graciously offered another fishing game to giveaway this month!

Our Review

The fishing game was an immediate hit! As soon as it was out of the package, we were playing, laughing and squealing! The game consists of a 16″ long painted dowel, 16″ long cord, a felt hook with velcro, and four felt fish. The entire set is very well made and should last through several years of toddler and young child’s play. After we played together for awhile, my little one was able to play with the game alone – for a whole 30 minutes – that’s ages in toddler-time!

My kids love playing with it and pretend to be sailors catching their “meal” for the day. The felt fish will become easier to catch as they “felt up” the more the game is played. That is the beauty of velcro! – Erin of the Sapucha Etsy Shop

A Fun Challenge

You can catch the fish anywhere on the felt body. It is easy enough so that toddlers won’t get frustrated, but difficult enough that it presents a small challenge and sense of accomplishment when the fish is caught. (I kept hearing “I did it, I caught it!”)

The game is made for children ages 3 and up, and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. It is priced VERY reasonably at $13.00. Please see Erin’s Felt Fishing Game listing for a full description including shipping policies.

Although we have plenty of nice manufactured toys around the house, there is something about playing with a quality handmade toy that I can’t quite put my finger on. Perhaps it is a sense of nostalgia, or just knowing that someone crafted the toy with their own two hands. I also believe kids enjoy the tactile sensation of felt. (And adults, too! There seems to be a resurgence in the use of felt in art and crafts lately.)
